Hi Joel, I quit smoking on Christmas, ever since then I have had a sore throat. Is this just my body repairing itself after a decade of smoking? Just curious, happily quit, Dina
I attached your question here to this string because the same principles apply.
Some people may feel sensations in their lungs or their respiratory tract from the nerve regeneration process that occurs when a person first quits smoking, but there are plenty of other problems that can result in a sore throat that should not be ignored, dismissed or written off to not smoking, especially since it has gone on for so long now. You should be getting this checked out by your doctor.
