Parents painted a drawer and left it to dry in my room. I am concerned about voc symptoms. Could this affect someone for almost two weeks?

I was gone for a 2 days when my parents pained this drawer. I went back to sleep in that room on day 5. The third day I started to feel weird and have brain fog. When i asked them how they handled ventilation they never opened a window at all. They never even changed the bedding as well so i’m concerned it absorbed onto my bed when I was sleeping. I don’t even know if other symptoms happened because i was on pain meds for a wisdom tooth removal. They don’t listen that it should have been aired out and we need to open the windows around the house to get rid of it they said the ac will make it less concentrate. I started sleeping there june 28th and till now I still feel a bit out of it. I went to my primary doctor and she said I should be fine since it’s low voc and not big enough to cause long term effect.
