What Causes Sore Throat After Smelling Fumes From Spray Paint?

Ive been working on my kitchen and last night was spray painting and forgot to open any windows and had a terrible sore throat the whole night but i blamed it on allergies. It went away for the most part, today when i used the spray paint i opened doors and windows but still breathed in fumes and now my throat hurts just like it did last night, i just want to make sure there are no major health concerns i should worry about.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to the spray that you have used.
I suggest to avoid using it again.
Meanwhile,I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine daily.
I also recommend to drink liquids and use a throat spray with anti-inflammatory properties.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
