I just did a stupid mistake 😥 I sprayed an insect killer (Baygon) in the room where my guinea pig is in. The room is an open space, around 10x6m, with the cage in the middle of the room. I sprayed it around 4-5m away from the cage. There is an air purifier next to her cage. But I felt uneasy, so after about 15mins, I set up a temp cage and moved her to my room. I opened the windows where her cage is, and turned on the fan to air out the room. I plan to put her back in her cage tomorrow morning.

Will she be ok? I don't see her sneezing, wheezing, or anything like that. She seems to be eating and drinking normally. Is there anything else I should look out for?
 
She should be fine as long as you moved her out of the room. Honestly I’d wait to put her back for at least 3 days (with the window open or cracked) and keep an eye on her.
