When will I stop coughing?!


Question:

When will I stop coughing?

I stopped smoking 10 days ago and have been heavily coughing for the last 4 days... I am trying to loosen phlegm by taking expectorants, but I still have a dry cough. Its got to the point that Im loosing sleep due to the severity of the coughing...


Answers:

Your lungs wish to expel the toxins and coughing is a way your body is wishing to do that.

It may only be psychological but try rubbing some vicks vapour rub on your chest, just smelling the vapours may calm the coughing down.

Also drink plenty of water, eat oranges and take some herbal tea to sooth throat and at any time you wish to cough or smoke.

Keep up the good work - if the coughing continues another night I would go see the cessation nurse at your GPs surgery.

Good luck with it all.
