General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Immaterial of the duration of starting smoking this could be a sole effect of smoking. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a complete full stop to smoking, apart from advising you for an anti septic gargle, a decongestant and regular steam inhalation. However, if this did not relieve you, I would refer you to an ENT specialist for a proper diagnosis and appropriate management.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
