Smoking Problem

Asked for Female, 33 years

I was not a regular smoker. Only used to smoke with friends for fun. But from Last 4 months, I started smoking regularly, which causes me skin problems, weight gain, and regular coughing. Now I've stopped smoking from last 5 days and I'm having stomach problems especially bowel problems. I had constipation for 2 days and when I had bowel it was so hard that I got severe pain after that. Please help me with this I don't want to smoke now.

Dear Patient,

Congratulations on this decision. You will not regret it long term. For the hard stool take 1 tbsp ispaghol husk mixed in warm milk n honey before bed daily. Take 1tab colofac before meals for pain. It would be good to find a replacement activity to keep your nerves calm and your mouth occupied like chewing gum, snacking on nuts, etc I'm attaching some articles that will be helpful. Kindly consult a rehab center doctor or specialist too for extra support.good luck.
