Chronic cough after quitting smoking.
I've recently quit smoking but i have a chronic cough with mild sputum even after quitting smoking, to the point that I can't even sleep properly. My Spo2 levels are also normal. Does anyone know what this is happening?

For your age the duration and number of cigarettes may not be directly related to your symptoms. How long do you have cough. Consult for better management.
