What Should I Do As I Drank Bleach Accidentally?

I had bleach in a cup beside the sink becaue I was cleaning. I grabbed my Omega 3 and accidently drank the bleach instead of the water. It was a mouth full. I quickly drank milk and ate some cream cheese and tofu. I have to go out in the next couple of hours for the evening so can't go to the doctor. Is there anythingelse I should do?
