A member asked:
One side of throat always gets irritated/slightly swollen after smelling chemicals or tasting certain things. allergic, sensitive, or both?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See ENT: Some people developed an oversensitive response to odors and chemicals and the mechanism is not known. Since only one side is involved, you should consult an ENT to find out if there is any underlying inflammation at that side of the throat to render it so sensitive.
