Too late: I wouldn't worry if you were only exposed for a few seconds. Nothing you can do about it now anyway. Next time avoid burning plastics and or inhaling smoke of any type. I assume you don't smoke or this would be laughably ironic...

No problem: Not long enough nor heavy enough exposure to worry about
