I smoked for the last 10 years, before quitting in June 2014. During this time I had a cough intermittently. However, since August 2014 the cough has been constant. What should I do?
Firstly, congratulations for quitting smoking.
Paradoxically, it is not uncommon for a cough to worsen after giving up cigarettes, but this should settle in a month or so.
Any unexplained cough does need investigating and if you have not already done so, my advice would be for you to seek the attention of your doctor – this is especially so if you are coughing up coloured sputum or blood.
I am sorry that I can’t be of any more help to you at this time, but please let me know how you get on.
