One of my sons baby bottles melted on the bottom of the dish washer heating coil. When I opened the dish washer to remove it- the whole house smelled like it and now (a few hours later) my throat is hurting me. My seven year old daughter was in the house as was my 6mth old but I was the only one close to the dishwasher where the stronger fumes were should I be concerned?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry much. Such strong fumes can cause irritation in the throat and sore throat. So Chat Doctor.  Do not warm water gargles 5-6 times a day. Inhale fresh air. You will mostly improve with all these in 2-3 days. Watch for symptoms like chest pain, coughing, breathing difficulty, fever etc. If any of these symptoms appear then consult doctor, otherwise no need to worry. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
