Narrative:
There was a strong odor detected during our final approach by myself the b-fa. I felt symptoms such as coughing; light headed and an itchy throat. We contacted medical as soon as we landed explained the event to them in full detail. Medical paremedics came onboard to assist us; checked our vital signs; and removed us from the aircraft with wheelchairs. A police officer who came onboard to help the paramedics became ill as well. The a-fa notified the flight deck what happened instantly upon landing. The c-fa also felt symptoms of headaches; sore throat; and light headed.I suggest the aircraft maintenance crews should perform various fume test (hydraulic fluid; hazardous chemical) while these aircrafts are in the hangars and on the ramp before allowing passengers or crewmembers to board them.
