I painted a bedroom 4 days ago and there is still a strong paint smell. Is this normal and if not, what could have happened and can I do something about it.

Thanks.

Normal? Most likely.

Some people are more sensitive to paint smells than others.
Kick open a cuople windows and run a fan, it shuold help.

Like PWG said, airing the room out will expedite the odor removal. If you are sensitive to paint odors there are paints now available with less smell. Something to think about for next time.

Try burning a vanilla-scented candle.
