I was cleaning my house tiles with water mixed with a little bleach and vinegar as i normally do . i was scrubbing them for about 5 hours with little breaks in between. now after finishing up i have been coughing and have a sore throat. is that ok?

Combination, release: Chlorine gas, is released by this combo. This is very irritating to breath, in a confined space like a refrigerator or freezer can even be deadly. As you describe, may be OK. If breathing/coughing gets worse, see your doctor or urgent care.
