What Causes Cold And Sore Throat After Accidental Inhalation Of Chlorine Bleach Fumes?

I accidentially inhaled non-diluted chlorine bleach last Tuesday night. Immediatly after I had cold symptoms and a sore throat. Now, 5 days later, these symptoms have gotten worse. I have a horribly stuffy nose, and mucous in my cough. Also have a headache and facial pain.
