I was cleaning with bleach for a long period of time the other day without a mask, now after a few days my throat is kind of irratating me?

Short term issue: Bleach is irritating to mucus membranes and with a prolonged exposure that you describe, that is likely for your throat. The lining of your throat rapidly renews itself and shortly you will have no problem. Try using cough drops in the meantime to alleviate the irritation.
