Quit Smoking Now Have Phlegm On Throat
Posted: 03-17-05 00:54am

Hi I recently quit smoking (6 months ago) I now feel phlegm on my throat. When I talk during conversations I can feel myself getting hoarse. When I cough the phlegm off my throat it is sometimes greenish. What is this? Thank you in advance

Hi howard, I quit 12 years`ago and have noticed the same as you. I have a hoarseness occasionally and clearing my throat helps sometimes but not always. My doctor just looked at me like I was making it up.
I have no clue but I do know that whatever it is , it cannot kill ya!

Throat Problems, Can't Sing With Clear Voice
Posted: 03-17-05 12:00pm

Thanks jophil28, it wouldn't be that much of a problem except that i'm a singer and that was one reason I quit to clear up my voice. On pass times of quitting I would notice in a few months that my voice would clear up. I'm still waiting.
Could this have anything to do with acid reflux? I have had noticable indigestions and heartburn.
