Hi, smokefree! Your physical reactions are normal. Gargle with some salt water and drink lots and lots of ice water to help detox and clean mucus from your system.

Love the attitude lovetobesmokefree!
 
Your sore throat 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 immediately consult a doctor. Its possible that your smoking has been masking symptoms of some illness, and when you stop smoking the symptoms abruptly become noticeable
 
Stay strong!

Today at only day 4 my voice is husky, my throat is sore, this is helping with my journey as i feel the pain and damage that i have for years been inflicting upon myself.
 
These symptoms are enough to help me continue in my program journey, as i do not want to end up with throat cancer and to get such a shock at only day four of quitting, i know i have to do this for myself and my health.
