Specializes in General Surgery

Rest and time: You are reacting to the fumes from spray paint. You have a scratchy and sore throat. Rest and time shoyld help. Always use a well ventilated area. A proper mask will work on the chemicals and is expensive and requires proper fitting. Over time it should improve.
