Sore throat after I stopped smoking
I had been smoking for past 1 year. I recently had fever, cough and sore throat. So I left smoking but as soon as I got better I smoked a few ciggerates again. Because of this my sore throat and phlegm isn't going away. I even took Azithromycin 500mg for 3 days but it didn't work.
Now i don't know if my sore throat is because I stopped smoking or is it due to something else? I'm gonna visit a doctor soon but I can't tell them that I smoke since my parents will be with me.
What can I do to make my lungs healthy? I won't smoke again.
