Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of dry mouth, red eyes and coughing mucous along with leg cramps can be due to side effect of the paint fumes inhalation while can also be due to upper respiratory tract infection..

As of now you can start taking anti allergics like Levocetrizine, mucolytics like Ambroxol, anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and can also chew sugar free chewing gums and drink plenty of water to alleviate dry mouth..
If there is a rise in body temperature also noticed you can take Tylenol..
Take sufficient rest..

In case if the symptoms does not improve consult a General Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
