What Causes Severe Cough After Quitting Smoking?
Brief Answer:
No, it is not due to non smoking.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
It is not due to non smoking.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out bronchitis.
Smokers are great risk for bronchitis. And coughing is the earliest symptom for bronchitis.
So we need to rule out bronchitis first.
If bronchitis is the cause then you may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamines.
So don't think about non smoking as a cause for your coughing. It is definitely not the cause. Better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Since all these are prescribed medicines, better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
