Suggest Treatment For Headache And Pain In Eyes After Inhaling Lysol

Yes, Hi. I was at work today and a coworker sprayed lysol in the air. It is basically a trailer and all the windows and doors are shut. It runs air conditioning in it. ANyways, I left the trailer for about 30 minutes and came back and worked in their for an hour. I couldn t even smell the lysol anymore but I got a pretty bad headache. It hurts in my temples. my forehead, and the back of my eyes. Is this normal or should I see a doctor? I have been out of the trailer for about an hour now and my head and eyes don t hurt as bad, but they still hurt.

Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
Lysol inhalation causes headache.
The headache you have is probably due to lysol inhalation.
Prolonged inhalation can cause breathing difficulties. But you do not have this.
It is also good to know that the intensity of your headache has decreased.
You can take either tylenol or advil for relief from headache due to inhalation of lysol.
