Hi Dear ,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache caused by inhaling plastic fumes which contains polyurethane and volatile organic compounds, known as VOCs, which are cause of bad health.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to drink plenty of water and wash face properly with plenty of water and keep on inhaling fresh air. Drink milk and if any symptoms persists consult doctor without any delay and get complete examination done and start treatment accordingly because condition sometimes become complicated.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
