How Can I Make Sure That There Is No Residue Left In My Nose After Using Spray Paint?

A few months ago I used a lot of spray paint to spray wood furniture. I wore a mask but don't think it kept all the paint out of my nose. Now a few months later, every once in a while, I feel like I still smell paint in my nose.

Should I be worried? How can I make sure that there is no residue left in my nose? Thank you.

Hello

I dont think you have to worry as it will not remain inside your nose for so long!
The only way to confirm is by meeting a ent specialist, who may do an endoscopy of your nose and confirm if there is any residue or not,
Thanks
