A member asked:
I was grinding a tiled floor and my throat started to swell up quickly. its now 15 hours later and is still swollen and very dry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go see your doctor..: Go to hospital er (call 911) if can't swallow or short of breath. You might be reacting to dust from grinding tile. You may need steroids, possibly observation overnight depending upon how you're doing/feeling. Don't wait until near collapse before getting checked out.
