Coughing

[Figgis]

Hi all,

I've been off the ciggies now for about 8-9 days but I'm having a real problem with my cough. At first it just felt like I was coughing up 'gunk' and that passed. But now I just cannot shake this tickly cough that isn't a hacking fit, just a brief cough, but it will not clear up and I can't seem to get rid of it. It's even causing a problem sleeping as the tickle just means I have to cough every few minutes.

Is this common at this point ?

All sorts of symptoms are, but most of them go away within a few weeks.

had it for approximately 3 weeks figgis,but it went,i put it down to the change to pg from rollies and as i felt better in other ways i tried to ignore it,it didn't keep me awake though ,so dont want to advise to ignore if it persists.

Vaping can dry the throat a bit especially PG liquids, drink plenty of water. You could try swapping to high VG liquids to see if that helps.

I had the same thing but it cleared up after about a week!

Along with upping your fluid intake, you could try a spoonful of honey, that should help ease it. That's if you have any & like it of course.

Get the magical "Sandersons throat specific" only available on line works wonders, there's nothing like it! Jules

Strangely enough, I have never had any coughing right from the get go. I find this very odd as i was diagnosed with COPD back in October. All i get is a very dry mouth sometimes. I do drink a lot of fluid but I never know if it is the vaping or my diabetes playing up.
I hope your cough goes soon

Hopefully it's nothing to fret about. I must admit, today it's still quite bad, and it seems to be heading up to my sinuses as well.

I just need some sleep though. Sick of coughing intermittently all night

That idea of honey sounds quite good. Cheers all.

I was fine when I started, then just after the first week I started getting a sore throat, which no amount of fluids would help.

By trial and error, I found it was the PG content of the Juice. Generic chinese juice or if it's not marked will probably be 70% PG. I found I can take 50% PG but any more and I get a sore throat and a tickly cough.

Like you it was more annoying than painful, but after a week it became very tiresome.

I found it took at least a day fully on the new E-Juice mix before my throat cleared up.

Hope this helps.
