What Is The Cough And Stuffed Nose With Addiction To Smoking?
Hi, my name is Wesley. I have had this cough for about 5 days now, along with a slightly stuffy nose. I am more worried about my cough though, because i smoke regularly and i am only 21. After i acquired this cough it wasn't a very serious thing, but i tried to smoke a cigarette and i could barely take 2 puffs of it. So i have not taken a puff of a cigarette for about 4 days now and still have the cough and slightly stuffed nose. Will my throat be alright ?
Hello ! you seems to have allergic response to cigarette smoke .It can cause Allergic rhinitis and Bronchial Asthma. , that will result in your nose getting stuffy and your airways to constrict making it difficult for air that you breathe in and out to pass along your airways. Since how long have you been smoking ? What form of smoking ? How many per day ? Do you wheeze ? For symptomatic benefit for your current episode, u will need to do steam inhalation, take decongestant/ antihistamine medication , antibiotic if you have puruent phlegm on coughing. Do warm saline gargle. Get yourself checked by a physician in person . If there is evidence of constricted airways then you will need bronchodilator n steroid drugs. Get a Chest X ray and Spirometry done for evaluation. Do quit smoking.
