Orange/Tangerine pulp causing sore throats? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I was eating a tangerine yesterday when a piece of pulp went into my windpipe.

As I was trying to huff it out, it went up my nasal passage.

24 hours later, I have the WORST sore throat ever. I'm talkin sore as in "sick" sore, or the beginning stages. Back of my throat is swollen, nasal passage burns, and it just stings to swallow.

WTF is up with this? How can tangerine pulp cause this?

Mother of ASS.

I just looked in the box of those tangerines, and there are a few that had mold on the side of them, so that's the culprit. Goddamn mold attack.

I had this once before where I had somehow overlooked a glass of juice on the side of my bed... and I made the mistake of smelling it.

Ugh. This all over again, yay!

Does anyone know how to speed this process up? I'm feelin like crap over here, haha.

Sore throat is gone, now evolved into the worst stinging cough ever... as if I actually caught a cold or something.

Are there any antibiotics to speed this up, or do I pretty much need to let it run its course?
