Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your concerns: Dryness of the throat, burning in the nose and shallow breathing after painting the walls is obviously due to the chemical fumes that the paints give.
Yes, this should be worried about.
I would advise :
Come out of the house to open air, far away from the painted area.
Take deep breathing
If there is no relief rush to ER.
