Will eating oranges gives sorethroat problem? i am beginning to feel like i am allergic to oranges. is that possble?

Possible: It is possible, but it could also be a syndrome known as oral allergy syndrome. It might also just be a side effect of the acidic nature of the orange itself. An allergist can test you to determine if you are truly allergic.
