Suggest Remedy For Cough With White Discharge And Taste Of Paint In Mouth

I used rustoleum to spray paint a patio set. It was outdoors, but I got the overspray on my legs. I am not concerned about that, but I now realize that I also got it in my lungs. I have a barking cough, with white discharge and I can actually taste the paint in my mouth. I feel like the inside of my lungs are coated, but the coughing is making that better. The painting was done 2 days ago. What can or should I do to eliminate the problem?

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
This is an allergic pharyngitis, due to painting. Paints have chemical fumes causing irritation and pharyngitis.

If I was your treating physician I would have prescribed you Amoxicillin antibiotic if not allergic to. Plus Ibuprofen and Claritin tablets. Its all needed for you.
