Chronic Cough Causes

10. Lung Cancer
Lung cancer can be caused by a wide range of things, and smoking is among the most common of all causes. Regardless of the cause, cancer is a very serious condition that needs to be treated as soon as possible. It is a very difficult condition to treat and survival rates are low. As with other types of cancer, however, the chances of recovery improve the earlier it is caught.
Lung cancer will often lead to quite severe coughing although, of course, other symptoms can be even worse. As the damage to the lungs increase, the patient will find it increasingly difficult to breathe. The condition can be a great deal worse if/when it spreads to other parts of the body.
