I just quit smoking, any tips on getting rid of congestion, and the mucus? -
wow!!! you should be proud of yourself
i know the answer to this one
Mucinex, you can get it from any Pharmacy over the counter
Yeah that happens to me when I go a couple days with a cigarette, I just start smoking again. The reason I usually stop any way is because I run out and I-m too busy to get more right away.
Sudafed, that stuff clears up the sky on a rainy day
well, quiting shop make that stuff slowly go away. so perhaps you have a cold. Just spit up that yellow hard stuff when you brush your teeth, and you-ll be all good dude
Give it time....your body is trying to heal from the abuse you have given it...and good luck.
time, I quit awhile back and it takes a couple of months to really get over all the lung butter build up

Do that special favor for your wife each night before bed. Works wonders for many ailments....LOL
I quit a couple of years ago and I have no mucous or smokers cough. It will go away, give it time.
mucusx works great
Only time to air out your lungs will do that....if a week has passed and you still have it see a doctor.
Just let it run its course. Good for you. That was not an easy thing to do. I know I will get many thumbs down for congratulating someone for quitting smoking. Kind of strange, but people don-t like smokers crossing to the other side. I was a smoker for 20+ years. The mucus in your lungs will clear, probably in a couple of weeks. Keep it up, and don-t give back in. Get used to the freedom of being a non smoker.
Try Mucinex. It will help you bring it up and clear it out. Drink lot of water. It-s a good thing, your lungs are cleaning themselves out. How long it takes depends on how long and how much you smoked.
