I inhaled bleach fumes. i have a severe cough. what can i do to help with the coughing and throat soreness?

See a doctor: You have chemical irritation of the lining or the bronchial tubes. I have used Medrol in tablet form, codeine for cough control and at times Singulair (montelukast) to help with this issue. There are some inhaled medications that might help too, but your cough might not tolerate them.
