Suggest Treatment For Cough After Coming In Contact With Spray Paint
My wife used two cans of spray paint in our basement to paint some outdoor furniture. I know she didn't have proper ventilation and used way too much paint. She has had a very nagging cough for the four days since then. Is there anything that can be done, or does she just need to give it some time?

Hi thanks for asking question.
She had come into contact with paint.so she mostly have Chemical rhinitis or laryngitis.
Symptomatic management done for few days.
Take semisolid diet for few days with more fruits.
Drink more water.
Strictly avoid direct and indirect smoking.
Steam inhalation done with eucalyptus oil.
For congestion relief take antihistaminic drug.
Green leafy vegetables taken more.
If still your symptoms increasing then chest x ray like further investigation done.
I hope my suggestion will be helpful to you.
