Suggest Treatment For Headache After Inhaling Paint Fumes

Since Saturday, I have been using a paint spray, and some paint markers to do a little project for my graduation party. The smell of the paint was strong and just barely today, my head has been hurting really bad, could it have been from the paint fumes i inhaled Saturday, Sunday and Monday?

Looks like headache is because of paint's smell. You can take any over the counter pain killer in appropriate doses for 2-3 days. But important thing here is preventive measures...you should take. Avoid more paint spraying, use mask during painting, do painting job in open space....you should always remember that prevention is better than cure.
