Allergy or cold?

2017-12-25 14:51:32
Hello! A few days ago (Thursday) I had jalapeños in my lunch and immediately after my throat started burning. Now it is Sunday and my throat does not hurt but is very swollen. Is this an allergy to the jalapeño or a sickness?

Your symptoms are unlikely to be allergy to jalapeño as allergy symptoms include skin rashes, lip and tongue swelling and generalized itching. You might have had reflux laryngopharyngitis which might have caused burning and itching sensation in throat
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
