Q: i was exposed to ozone air purifier for a lengthy period of time whilst the device had only just turned off with barely any ventilation. i have had painful throat irritation for nearly 7 days. should i seek medical attention?

: No need for medical care. Any irritation from such a device cannot last more than a day or so. Far more likely that you have minor viral pharyngitis.
