Coughing, dry throat
- Duration: Cough 2-4 weeks, dry throat 2-3 days Cause: Ex-smoker’s cough is the body’s way of getting rid of the extra mucous that has blocked airways. Dry throat is caused by the fact that the body is no longer producing a lot of mucous to protect the airways from the toxins.
- Tip: Try drinking cold water, fruit juice, tea; chew gum, or have cough drops/hard candy on hand.
