Suggest Remedy For Inflamed Throat And Cough

I smoke meth a couple times a month for about a year. My throat is a little inflamed, my lungs feel tight & I feel the need to cough . I know meth is bad, but I know people who smoke more than me and they don t feel bad. Will my lungs feel better after a little while?

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
Smoking methamphetamine could irritate and damage the respiratory mucosa. Damaged mucosa is more prone for infection.
I recommend the following.
1) Quit smoking methamphetamine. Consult your doctor for the same.
2) A course of antibiotics.
3) Analgesic like tablet paracetamol for pain
4) Cough syrup containing debt to method phone, chlorpheniramine maleate, phenylephrine.
You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
Regards,
