Have Diarrhea, Bloating, Headache And Poor Appetite. Had Been Painting Room. Cure?

Hi, I was doing decorating in a room for 4 days, then immediately started working in it 10/12 hours a day with the heating on, but very little ventilation as it was very cold. My wife said it smelt very bad and made my clothes smell. I was using emulsion water cased paint, gloss oil based paint, sealants and glues. After 3 days I became quite unwell with flu like symptoms, they have eased over the next 2 days a little bit, but I have aches, pains, diarrhoea, bloating , headaches can t sleep, poor appetite and generally feel rotten. Is there any treatment recommended, how long might it last?

Hi, it appears to be due to the food poisoning, or may be due to enteric fever, may not be due to paints. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe oflxacin, ranitidine, domperidone, paracetamol, and loperamide when ever necessory.
Thank you.
