Severe Sore Throat After Eating Bag Of Candy ?

default
Posted on Wed, 12 Jun 2024
Question: Hello, I consumed a bag of candy gummies, and shortly after consumption (less than 15 minutes) I started experiencing a severe sore throat, and at bedtime I tried laying on my side and experienced sharp pin like pains in my throat. That lasted about 12 hours if I laid-down (I had to sleep sitting upward). After about 2-3 days my throat felt better. As I speak, it feels like something is lodged in the bottom of my throat and constantly shifting. This has been going on about 24 hours. I've been through different concerning discomforts such as moments of short winded, not able to upchuck or clear throat, headaches, sharp streaks of pain to my left eye when drinking water or simply swallowing my slave. What I discovered about 36 hours ago is that the gummies I consumed had a recall due to small metal shavings discovered in the gummies during manufacturing. I believe I'm dealing with one or more pieces of metal lodged in my throat. I do have an appointment with

Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,

Degenerative disk disease occurs when your spinal disks degenerate or break down. In such a case thay may cause back pain and stiffness.
In my opinion, your symptoms dont seem to be related to the disc disease.
I suggest to continue the treatment with antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor.

Hope it helps dear.

Take care,
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
