Feels Like I?m Swallowing Glass

Hi Smilinggypsy,
 
First of all, congratulations on deciding to quit! 
When you quit smoking you may experience a sore or dry throat. This is a sign that your body is getting used to having less mucous. When you smoked, your body produced lots of mucous to protect the airways from the toxins in smoke. Now, your body doesn't need it anymore.

How long will this last? The first few weeks after quitting.
Tips to help: Sip ice-cold water or fruit juice, chew sugar-free gum or have cough drops or hard sugar-free candy.

If you have a symptom that persists or seems worse than you expected, you should consult a doctor. 
 
It has been awhile since you last posted. How are you feeling today?

Hi All, Last Wednesday I quit smoking hookah (Lent was my catalyst). About five days later I came down with a bit of a cold and sore throat. I went to the doctor and was given an RX for Augmentin (she thought I had strep throat). My test came back negative and although my throat no longer feels tender and painful, occasionally it feels as though I am swallowing glass. I'm so dehydrated that my tongue has started to crack too. I do the best I can sucking down electrolytes. Anyways, has anybody had this happen to them? Is it the cilia that I keep reading about? Spring cleaning at it's best... Thanks for any help!
