<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.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?  <response>: 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.
