10 Early Signs of Lung Cancer
Early Sign #4: Persistent Cough
The vast majority of people have had a cough at least once in their lives. They can be very irritating but they are usually quite harmless and will pass before too long without having done any permanent damage. We will usually just pass them off for something harmless, but they can sometimes be a symptom of a serious underlying condition.
In some cases, a cough can be a symptom of lung cancer. The cough associated with lung cancer is likely to be one that lingers and will also often get worse as time progresses. If you have any cough that persists for too long, or gets too severe, you should arrange to have it checked out.
