Lung Cancer
A dry cough is one of the earliest signs of lung cancer. While a dry cough could result from many other things, one that is persistent and lingers for an excessive amount of time needs to be investigated.
Those who already have a chronic cough need to look out for any changes to the cough. Other symptoms that may indicate lung cancer include trouble breathing, a raspy voice, body aches, and an unusual drop in weight.
