Narrative:

Before we even left; we had a fuel leak. It was eventually fixed and we departed for ZZZ. On the climb I smelled an odor; but I figured it was from the repair and it wasn't too bad. We were all strapped into our jump seats (I was at the 3L) on the descent into ZZZ when a very strong odor was detected. It smelled like a combination of deicing fluid and dirty locker room odor. It was so strong I had to breathe into my sleeve and I looked over at the other flight attendant sitting at the 3R jumpseat and she was doing the same thing. My eyes began to sting as well as my throat. Several passengers asked me what the smell was and I literally couldn't answer them because I began to cough. The passenger right in front of me put her sweater over her nose and mouth. All passengers deplaned and the crew gathered at the front as we discussed what had just occurred. Flight services were called and [someone] met us to take us to the airport urgent care facility for employees. We filled out paperwork and I was brought to the back where they weighed me; took my height measurements; looked into my eyes; throat; ears; and nose; and took my blood pressure. I told her my eyes were still stinging and my throat burned; along with a headache. She gave me advil; benadryl for my throat; and 5 vials of eye drops. I ask her if she was going to draw my blood and she was puzzled by it. I then went back out to the waiting room [and was] informed if we wanted our blood tested; we would have to go to the hospital. I declined because it had already been [several] hours of all of this and I felt like it had been a waste of time. No one seemed to know what the protocol was to deal with this event.
