Can Mold Cause Pain In The Nerve Endings And In The Throat?

I inhaled mold threw my mouth and nose. Since then I have had severe pain in my neck and not able to lay down due to the pain. My neck seems better but it seems to be moving to different sides of my body as well as nerve endings hurting. My body feels like it has been beat up. Would mold do that

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No mold don't do it directly but it can do it indirectly. It creates allergic reaction in the body which in turn can cause such problems.

As it initially stuck to the throat it initiated the reaction. Same way the allergen which is circulating the blood can cause various pains in the body.

So I advice you to take the low dose steroid like prednisolone and chlorpheniramine maleate under your doctors guidance.

This will stop the further reaction and so pain to you.

I suggest you to take future care as not to expose to such a mold further.

You can take some construction measure to stop the mold growth. This will prevent future exposure to you.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
