Low concern: Little is known about the various side effects of taking blue-green algae, but hypersensitivity is always a heightened concern when taking natural products.  Your symptoms are not consistent with anaphylaxis, but more likely with local irritation or delayed-type sensitization.  An Allergist can help you to decide if this is the right supplement for you!

Pharyngitis: It sounds like you have an infection of the pharynx.  You should be tested for strep throat, which requires antibiotics for treatment.  A good physical examination from a licensed professional is also necessary to rule out any more potentially serious problems such as paratonsillar abscess.  Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
