First of all, it’s great that you’ve stopped smoking.
Secondly, yes, it sounds like you had an infection only. What antibiotics are you taking right now? It will take a couple of days for your lungs to clear (even after discontinuation of antibiotics) and so far it looks like there’s no need to worry.
Next Steps
Steam (open your mouth and take deep breaths)
Saline gargles (will help soothe your throat)
