What causes swelling of throat on chewing Orbits Strawberry gum?
Patient: I chewed a piece of Orbits Strawberry gum. My throat swelled and it became hard to breath. i also got a headache. All this happened within 5 minutes. I took a benedryl. Now, the symtoms are relaxing. What caused the problem? I dont have any food allergies. Doctor: Hi, You maybe allergic to any one of the content in orbit chewing gum. The symptoms appeared just after taking this and relieved after benadryl suggest allergy.you should never take the same content food again  as the chance of reactions is more and with more severity. Hope this helps you. Regards
