Help!! I melted all bottles in a pot - any concern on toxic smoke/smell?

I was out of my mind and while steaming my baby bottles (medela) and pump accessories in a pot, I fell asleep. By the time I discovered, only 4 of the ~30 pieces have not vanished. Yes they have burned into nothing, and my entire house was engulfed in smoke with bad plastic smell. Every corner stinks. I have an infant who was upstairs at the time but I'm sure I have inhaled quite a bit and so did she. We have since kept our house ventilated for hours but there is still smell which I believe is soaked into the carpet and other linens. The hardwood floor seems to be coated with a light oil that I'm going to clean. But other than that, do I need to get professionals to clean carpet, etc, wash everything that was in touch with the toxic air? Any toxic residue? I don't mind the smell, but more concerned about the toxin if we keep inhaling it would cause any long term harm to myself and the 5 mths old. I don't know if my doctor can answer my question. Please help!!!
