Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi i am having a bedroom painted and was in close contact to paint fumes yesterday. within 1-2 hours i noticed discomfort in my lung (left lobe only) when i breath in deeply. I still feel it this morning. is there anything i should be doing to help repair any damage besides the obvious?
Hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum. From your description,it seems like a chemical irritation of the lung tissue.It can also be reactive airway disease.It can be well differentiated on direct physical examination ony.It is unlikely an infection(infection will be accompanied by fever,cough and sputum).It is better to see your doctor,to see what it exactly is.Both these conditions usually can be controlled by 5-7 days of treatment. Hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
