Common Questions and Answers about Throat problems after quitting smoking
throat
Well anyways im getting a bad cough and its causing a sore throat. I read online that this is caused by quitting smoking cause ur body is healing and what not. Well just curious if any other former smokers went through this and how long it lasted. Does cough med help in this situation? I cant sleep its so bad. Coughing up phlegm every few minutes its soo annoying especially since i just got over a cold... I only have 4 wks left til my c section and just want to feel better by then.
I used to smoke half a pack of menthol cigarettes and at least one pack of regular or light cigarettes a day, but when I tried to stop smoking the menthols, after a few days my throat got terribly raw and hoarse for almost two weeks, before finally getting better. Menthols still feel so good on my occasionally sore throat, that I oftentimes will buy a pack to sooth myself; even though I know I probably shouldnt.
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.
I have heard from several people that after quitting smoking they feel worse than when they smoked. What I was told is that they have trouble breathing a few months after, and upon exersion is even worse. Also you catch every virus that comes along. Is this true, and if so, will vitamins help this problem, such as, zinc, Vitamins c, b, e, and cod liver oil?
I am more worried about the illnesses after quitting than I am about actually quitting!
I cut down smoking in march haven't bought a pack since then cut down to one cig a day ( with vape) however I was up to two packs a day in the last 1 1/2 years but it used to not be that bad my throught hurts a little bit but I also have dry mouth and I smoke a vape which I believe might put some tension on my throat. I haven't had a cig in a month and I'm going to get off the vape.
if thats the case YES is effects your cells in the throat and also the cervix of females.... iwould suggest quitting..
I also recommend figuring out what makes you crave the most. for me, I have to have a cig not to long after waking up, and after eating. I personally believe if I can break those 2 habits first, then I could probably quit.
I smoked all the way through with my first. he ended up coming 5 weeks early and the dr who delievered him kept trying to blame it on me smoking. im sure that helped but wasn't the only reason.
However, about two days after I thought I was completely over it, I started coughing up phlegm and my throat was raw and dry. I have a really nasty sounding cough that sounds phlegm-y and hurts a lot. I was wondering if this is a common adverse effect of quitting smoking? And if that is what it is, what can I do to deal with it? I've been drinking tons of water and started and exercise program but it doesn't seem to be helping.
I developed sinus problems about 4-6 weeks after quitting - really runny nose and sneezing. I then experienced a nose bleed and a lot of itchy/dry congestion. After two nose bleeds and some yellow mucus, I went to the doctor and was told that it was just allergies and that I needed Flonase. I've never had allergy problems, so I believe now after reading this thread that it is directly related to quitting. I think it will go away over time...stay strong!
s probably due to quitting smoking which was about the same time ago. I quit many years back and coughed also but it hurt a lot when I did. Inhalers my M.D. gave me did not work neither did cough medicine so I tried oriental medicine herbs and I stopped coughing. I didn't start taking the herbs right away but after taking it and stopping coughin the process of my cough lasted about a month. I have started to take herbs again but it is not working.
Did this start while smoking or after stopping? I quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago and I noticed that for the first couple of months I felt a little anxious, heart fluttering and flopping around. I also get the fluttery feeling after eating, which is when I would have had a cigarette. After first quitting, I also felt like I wasn't breathing deep enough. Yawned a lot. I think that was all cigarette and anxiety related.
Congratulations on quitting smoking! One of the biggest issues with smoking during pregnancy is low birth weight babies. You've stopped at a time when babies really start picking up their weight. That occurs over the last several weeks, so you are giving your baby a good chance of picking up weight and being born at a more healthy weight.
Experienced the exact same problem after quitting smoking, and now 4 months later, I still have the same low HR (around 50-60), the dizzyness here and there, and the low BP too. I too went for a series of tests and all came back normal except for a large amount of PVC's i experience. I think some of us just experience this when quitting smoking, but other than that all sounds normal!

Hi guys, I started smoking a year ago and didn't really smoke that much, maybe like 1 or 2 cigarettes in a 2 week period or something. Throughout the year, I have smoked no more than 3 packs. But anyways, about a few months ago, I kind of started smoking a little bit heavier. I started to smoke Menthol to see what it's like, and the day after smoking like 4 Marlboro Menthols on a single night, my throat felt like there was something stuck in it.
I have been told many things about smoking during pregnancy. I am currently nine weeks pregnant and I'm having a problem with just quitting smoking. I've been told that since I've smoked for almost ten years that if I just up and quit I run a high risk of loosing my baby. I've been told to cut back and I've got to where I only smoke about 5 to 8 a day and before I got pregnant I smoked a pack a day.

So i'm 12 weeks and after smoking roughly 10-15 cigarettes a day before I got pregnant, i'm down to one or two a day. I was told that quitting cold turky would be worse for my baby (especially dealing with depression and anxiety) so even though I've cut down and plan on quitting some time this week, could there be any significant damage done to my baby? I'm really worried and wish I just would have quit when I first found out..
Smoking cigarettes, consuming excessive alcohol, breathing in chemical fumes or air pollution, or swallowing substances that irritate or damage the lining of the throat can also cause pharyngitis.
Sore throats usually go away after a week, but if not, is it recommended to check with your doctor, it could be something serious hun
Most sore throats will go away by themselves after a few days and can be effectively treated at home.
Quitting smoking is hard without a good reason but being the creator of life is probably one of the best reasons to. I quit the day I found out and haven't felt better. Some people can't that doesn't make you less than others just means you have to try harder. And the vapor is no better. Remember this when your puffing on it you have to puff a vape 20 times every 60 seconds to get one full drag off a ciggerate.
