Fever, Bad Cough, Pain In Lungs, Chemical Taste In Mouth. Due To Spray Painting?
I ve been spraying painting on and off all day everyday this week in a poorly ventilated area (garage). First 3 days I did not wear a mask. Last night my son got a fever and a bad cough (he was not around the fumes) I also got a fever & bad cough. Plus body aches and a horrible headache . The only thing is is that his cough doesn t hurt and mine is very painful deep in my chest/lungs. It also taste chemically. I m wondering if the spray paint has anything to do with this cough and is there anything I can or should do? I m a type 1 diabetic so I am going to go into my dr tomorrow but I am curious about this.

thank you.
it may be simple viral respiratory tract infection or fume induced inflammation of the airway.
both of you can take paracetamol for fever & pain & salbutamol for irritating cough.
but it is better to examine both of you properly by a doctor & treatment accordingly.
