Suggest Treatment For Throat Pain And Congestion After Cigar Smoking.

Occasionally have cigar since 25 I'm 40 now. I snore and get nasal drainage at night I work in landscaping and mowing so I may get dust. When I have a cigar my throat hurts slightly and congestion starts. Any suggestion, I have no insurance. Have a cigar about once a month

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Chronic smoking (like cigar) lead to deposition of black carbon particles in lung with smoke. Damages to respiratory tract are more if there is chronic history of working in dusty environment and dust allergy. Along with smoking, it also lead to damage to lungs and cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which makes lungs more prone to infections.

COPD may present with chronic productive (with phlegm) cough with throat congestion/pain due to infection. For treatment get evaluated by Pulmonologist/Physician for treatment of respiratory problem. Same time you should stop smoking and take precaution to prevent dust inhalation at working place.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
