Why Did My Neck Swell To The Size Of A Golf Ball After Eating Orange?
I was eating an orange at work today and the left side of my neck swelled up to about a golf ball size. I stopped eating it and the swelling subsided. About 2 hours later I ate lunch and the swelling got so big I couldn t swallow. Could this be a food allergy?
