How Can severe Throat Irritation Be Treated?

I have been going through old files and shredding them. However I find that I feel as though I have sand in my throat when I do this. I believe I am reacting to paper dust . I don t have many allergies but this happens each time I work around old papers. What is the best way to take care of this allergy if that is what is going on?
