Could The Fumes Be The Cause For Sore Throat In The Child?

My daugher s birthday was yesterday and as she was having a silly string fight with her sister, she got enough of a dose of fumes through her nose that she had to get another breath in to get fresh air again. Later that evening, she began to have a sore throat and still has it tonight. Do you think this could have been the fumes and it is still irritating her throat? Maybe combined with the usual screaming involved while playing?

Hello,

It is unrelated to fumes. Possible causes like strep throat or viral pharyngitis must be ruled out. Antibiotics must be started.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
