Hi ya Kimmie49, a big warm welcome to our lovely quit support community :)

I hope your feeling very PROUD of yourself for reaching 27 days quit :) just flippin ACE Kimmie, loving it :) :) If you could please let me know your actual quit date, then I can award you with a Winners Badge and add you to the Wall of Winners :)

As for the catarrh, this is common, maybe try exercising cos this may help to loosen it :) or some of our members have seen their GP and had a course of antibiotics to help loosen it :) You could also try one of the breathing exercises, which if you have a look to the right, you will see Pinned Posts, have a try at that :)

Kimmie, we are all different so, please be patient :)

Good luck, Pete :)

Hiya Kimmie and welcome to quit support😊

Congratulations on 27 days smokefree, great achievement so well done👍🏼

Try inhaling steam in a bowl with olbas oil or Vicks and it might help to loosen it a bit. Also as Monky has mentioned the breathing techniques and perhaps a visit to your G.P. Good luck🍀x

Bloody phlem !! It will get better try sucking boiled sweats or gum, this is something I still have but saying that it's no where near as bad as what it was in the beginning of my quit. Try drinking a lot of water that also helps to water it down . One Dr told me this can go on for ages as its all the dead cells sorting themselves out. Honestly it gets better over time
