A member asked:
I quit smoking hookah at the end of december. now sometimes i get a throbbing pain in the top of my back throat. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation: Smoking can lead to the burning of small hairs on the inside of the trachea. After quitting smoking these begin to grow which is the common cause for coughing in the first three weeks after smoking cessation often smoking can lead to damage to the mucosa in the throat
