brown/black small amount still after 6 months... - Quit Support
brown/black small amount still after 6 months of quit smoking !? especially after a run .
Hello manonthemoon, and welcome to quit support , thank you for joining us.
May I suggest you have a read through the pinned posts for information and tips.
These can be found at the top or bottom of the page, depending on which device
you are using.
After 6 months your throat should be getting back to normal. I would probably get it checked at your doctors, he may prescribe something like carboceisteine which help loosen any mucus , and therefore stop the sore throat feeling and coughing . Make sure you drink plenty of water. Its not impossible that your sore throat was there before you stopped smoking , and has appeared since. Smoking can mask lots of ailments.
Please let us know how you get on.
Well done on reaching 6 months , thats fantastic.
Please dont hesitate to contact us if you need any help.
We wish you luck with your quit journey.

As Jilly says it probably is a good idea to get it checked out with your doctor.
corrina i don't have any sore throat , scratchiness or irritation of the throat that often worsens when you swallow nothing from this just i don't know English so good so is just i need to clean my throat from phlegm and at first months of quitting cigs and canabis i got every day small amount of black brown stuff in my phlegm it decrease on size and time it takes now like 2 weeks to have some small amount especially when i exercise or i run
Hi, yes I understand I was asking you to see your doctor because you are still cough up black/brown phlegm even if it is small amounts and you have been quit 6 months.
i went to a specialist first couple months after i quit and i did an xray and it was clear even was so much brown/black phlegm like everyday now it decrease i though it disappear but last time i exercise i found a small amount again and i said to myslef is 6 months not enough to clear my lungs completely and btw i don't have any short of breath or something .
