Narrative:
We were notified before boarding that [the] aircraft had a fume incident the day prior. We notified the captain about the previous fume event. During inflight right before descent we noticed a very strong smell and notified the first flight attendant and captain. The fumes got in my throat and had I felt a burning sensation. I tried to cover my nose and mouth upon landing.during landing while strapped in my jump seat I noticed a deadheading crewmember looked very pale. When I asked him if he needed medical assistance upon arrival he agreed. I notified the first flight attendant to let the captain know we needed an ambulance. Since I had the burning sensation in my throat and a pounding headache a family member drove me to an emergency room to get looked at as suggested by inflight supervisors.the plane had a fume event the day prior. Why would they put our health and safety at risk and use the plane right away?
