Hi there.

Thanks for writing in.

It is quite possible that you both might be suffering from allergies, from the dust and mold.

I would advise you to take antihistamines like cetirizine , drink warm water and also do salt water gargles.

Next time if you do decide to clean the house/paint the walls, please use a mask.

Hope this information was helpful to you.

Hopefully your symptoms will improve with the above medication and measures.

However, if there is no improvement in symptoms in 2 days, do consult a physician for an alternate diagnosis.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
