A member asked:
Is it normal to have an increased cough if i recently quit smoking? i would think it should be the opposite.also have chest irritation and sore throat
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes its normal: All the symptoms you're describing can happen after you stop smoking. You might also have gotten a viral infection. Best thing is to 'stay on the wagon' don't start smoking again, and see how you do after another few weeks. If it persists, or if you develop fever, go get checked out.
