hello
thank you for trusting HCM
dear spary paints produce vapors that create not only chemical odors in the air, but also an allergic reaction in many people. Coughing, runny nose, sore throat and congestion are standard reactions to paint fumes; sufferers may also experience itchy and watery eyes. Oil-based household paints have many volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, that are particularly well-known allergens, but even water-based paints can cause reactions in certain individuals.
he may developed allergy to paint . use bronchodilator steroid,tab. montelukast and levocetrizine,tab .deriphylline twice a day. if symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
