Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having allergy to chemical like bleach powder.
Avoid this type of chemicals, smell or handling.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or some decongestant tablet as and when required.
Avoid dust or humid atmosphere.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.
