Is this normal stop smoking to fell worse? -
had pneumonia and quit smoking at the same time but have dry feeling in my lungs doctor gave me combivent inhaler but have constant dry mouth and feeling in my lungs and lots of mucas in my throat what should i doCombivent is definitely NOT an expectorant. It is a combination of albuterol ( a beta 2 specific adrenergic bronchodilator) and atrovent ( an anticholinergic bronchodilator). I would reccommend going back to your Doc - talking to him. Be careful of the advice you get on here! LOLI apologize for my misinformation, but I asked my mom (who-s a nurse) and she apologizes, she had just got off a 12 hour shift. Combivent is not an expectorant, but one of it-s side effects IS dry mouth and a dry or -airy- feeling in the lungs. Just give it a while to get the pneumonia completely out of your system, then if it-s still really bad, go see your doctor.Yes you will feel worse for awhile while your body is ridding itself of toxins. Hang in there it will get better. Typically 6 months.First off, congradulations on quitting smoking. I-m no stranger when it comes to dealing with pnuemonia. I have a six year old boy that has to do nebulizer treatments for pnuemonia, he uses albuteral sulfate. My son-s pnuemonia is caused by second hand smoke, which is more deadly than the first hand. good luck with your treatments hope you get better.who said that we were doctors?GO AND ASK YOUR DOCTOR AGAIN!!That is totally normal. Drink as much fluids as you can, because your body is literally making less mucus (which used to keep everything wetter) and it also helps flush away all the tar and junk that is in your lungs from smoking too. When I quit, I lost my voice from coughing so much! However, you will feel better eventually. Keep it up! However, I don-t know about the meds...
