Accidently inhaled spray paint fumes

2017-10-24 23:13:33
Yesterday i was spray painting my bathroom cabinet for about 5 to 10 min, and then about 20 min later, i feel short of breath. I didn't wear a mask while spray painting. Today i still feel short of breath, not as much as before, and i'm coughing a bit. A friend gave me cough drops and that helped a little, I want to know should I wait a few more days, or do i need to go to a hospital?
