Hard Cough

I recently quit smoking, and as usual for most people I have an annoying cough. It’s not as bad as it could be though since I only smoked 2 packs a week on average. Is it okay to use cough drops or cough syrup to suppress the cough or do I need to let myself cough?

As your lungs are healing (the cila growing back) your lungs are trying to expel the crud that has been in them for the period of time you smoked. You should try and cough it out. If you are feeling ill in any other way I would advise seeing a doctor for a chest xray just to be sure. Good luck.
