Common Questions and Answers about Coughing phlegm from smoking
coughing
Hi, health studies show that smoking filtered cigarettes do not block the bad chemicals from affecting the lungs. The green phlegm could be due to bronchitis. Treatment for bronchitis is usually symptomatic. Antibiotics for infections and bronchodilators for bronchospasm. And of course avoidance of smoking to prevent further damage to the lungs. Talk to your GP regarding this in the meantime you could try warm salt water gargles, steam inhalations and breathing exercises. Regards.
sound like your lungs are clearing and you may have bronco or asthma or something see your doctor some times when you stop smokeing this happen.
Anyways I thought the phelgm coughing up mighta been caused by some resin I was smoking, but they said that was black phlegm, not clearish yellow...
So a few days pass of coughing up phlegm, and now I'm sitting here.. irritated... i had the chills last night, I woke up several times.. coughing and sweating just about everytime. My throat is killing me.. I don't cough up phlegm as often, its more of a dry cough now with some phlegm every now and then.
Since about the second or third week post quitting I started coughing up this weird white/gray phlegm that has a terrible, bitter acrid taste that coats my mouth and back of my throat almost like an oil. Similar to bronchitis sputum but not green or yellow. There's no tar in it, no black bits, and it's always a small amount but it's once a day, every day. Usually after I eat. I hate it, it's disgusting and I'm not sure why it's still coming up! Anyone else?
so i cough every now and then, during morning, it feels like nothing, but as the day goes, specially afternoon, it getting worst, i have also this feeling that i have phlegm but apparently none, i just spit and all i can see is just white saliva, but sometimes with brownie phlegm and thinking it is from smoking, i stop smoking when i had this choKING feelings... and it feels like somehow connected with back pain... i always have this back pain.. but relief just by leaning my back.
I quit smoking 4 1/2 months ago, and I'm still not coughing. Every once and a while I sneeze, and now that I'm taking Advair for asthma, I now clear my throat a lot. I smoked for 20 years. Should I be worried?
Hello all! I'm sure that this topic has come up before, but I can't find the post. I'm now 15w2d and have been coughing like crazy for the last week or so. It's so bad to the point where I'm occasionally gagging. I called the doctor today and she said all I can do is have tea with honey or some lozenges. Cough syrups have way too much alcohol in them. Has anyone else had success with anything "safe" for us?
I have been smoking cigarettes and marijuana for a little over three years. I also smoked liquid pcp for about a year and a half, with a 6month break from all three when i went to rehab from nov08 to june09.. when i got out in june i started smoking pcp and weed again until i stopped about two weeks ago.. i still smoke cigarettes.
This is often accompanied by brown phlegm. A more serious cause of brown phlegm is blood that arises from the bronchi, voice box, windpipe or lungs. Coughing up brown phlegm is also a common symptom of excessive smoking. This is due to resin sticking to the viscous texture of the phlegm and being ejected by the body.
You need to drink lot of water, steam inhalation with eucalyptus and mint, antibiotics if infection etc will help you. Treatment of sinus infection will alleviate the headache.
Hi, I am 41 year old female with a 25 year history of smoking. (I smoke about 8-10 a day).Yesterday I did a huge cough and spat the resulting phlegm in the sink. It had blood in it. Not a large amount about 5p/dime size. The actual phlegm was clearish with a green/grey tinge. The blood was bright red. Needles to say, after reading everything online I am now scared witless! I am going to speak to my GP tomorrow. It has not happened since.
On 09th June i quit smoking. Initially for 2-3 weeks there was coughing with phlegm coming out. Now i am in 8th week after quit smoking. Now days i have throat pain while swallow and rarely phlegm coming out (no cough). Along with that slight cold (but not continuous). There is slight body pain from on yesterday.
Before i used to breath through mouth. But from on last couple of weeks i trying to practice to breath through nose. Yesterday i found some while particle on palatine tonsil.
hey. Im 55 yres old..smoke 1 to 2 packs ciggarettes for decades. Ive had a bad cold (flu?..virus?) but now, I wake up and coughed up my normal pleghm, but with considerable blood. first time....cold bring this on withe the smoking? i have no pain ..(short breath)...but not terrible. but blood and ion my sinus too.
I quit smoking 10 days ago and eversince i have been coughing up pale yellow phlegm with little brown specs in the morning. (only in the morning about a quorter size). it does not look like blood.its tiny little brown specs. i went to a pulmonologist, he have me a breathing test and i did great. I am not coughing and i do not have any shortness of breath. the doctor did not seam to have an answer for the phlegm... he told me to use a nasal spray...and mucinex...
After every time I eat anything I begin coughing until I get the phlegm out of my throat. It is always clear, but it is quite thick. This has been going on for 4 to 5 years, but it didn't used to be so bad. It used to happen only after I ate spicy food or food that was really hot. Now it happens after everything that I eat. I do not seem to have any other symptoms. I do smoke about 1 pack every 2 weeks, so not that often, but i do.
I have had chronic bronchitis for years coughing up completely black, thick, large amounts of phlegm ( I know, gross!!) My doctor said that just because the xray is normal doesn't mean that I don't have emphysema just that I don't have any obvious mechanical abnormality.
Since quitting smoking the phlegm production has subsided...no more cough, just a lot of throat clearing. My chest hurts every day, all day. It feels like I just smoked a pack of cigarettes.
I have been exposed to airborne asbestos for 7 hours at a building site. I use an inhaler to reduce inflammation. When I stop using it my lungs get in flamed and I usually cough up a long fibre as if its in my long and been striped off. The sensation is sore. When I go back to inhaler my lungs get up green phlegm. I d'ont understand all this~~? Can green phlegm remove asbestos fibres from lung or is it just white phlegm.
But, it could also just be a combination of your cough hanging on and quitting smoking has aggravated it. I waited to start coughing up phlegm when I quit, but it never happened, even though I had a serious smokers cough.
It is common for an increase in appetite, however, I have been fortunate that this didn't happen to me. Just the fact you have lost your appetite tells me that MAYBE you still have some sort of lung infection. Please try to force yourself to eat a little more.
First a little esp after exercise and then more and more. Coughing would continue until I expelled phlegm which was light color. At night coughing could be initiated by changing sleep positions and more phlegm. Wheezing common but constant cough is the worse. Continue to feel that I have to expel. Allergist checked for allergies found none, respirologist scoped lungs and were ok, biopsy ok also. Rescue inhalers and steroidal inhalers(Symbicort,Zenhale, Nasonex) did not show improvement.
I smoked crack everyday for a year, almost $800$1000 a day habit. It's been over two years now since my last hit. About a year ago I started coughing up black phlegm, it's dark,not brown or red but black in clear phlegm. I can feel it comes deep from in my lungs, I had a chest X-ray and it showed some inflammation in one area but no growth.
Several times these past two years I've woken up gasping for air. I felt like I was about to suffocate. Eventually, I was able to breathe a bit more and more, and to cough away the phlegm in my airway. I went to an ENT dr who said this was a GERD issue, Acid Reflux. I've been taking medication for that and it may have helped, but I did get another attack today. I've also had a diagnonsis, today, of Bronchitis. I've had the phlegm for around a week now and another ENT dr.
