10 Early Signs of Lung Cancer
Early Sign #7: Regular Infections
We are always at risk of developing an infection, although our immune system can help to keep us reasonably safe. Certain medical conditions, however, can weaken the body and increase the chances of infections taking hold. Lung cancer is no exception, and patients with the condition will develop an infection of the lungs more frequently than usual.
Lung infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis are quite common in lung cancer patients. This can cause further problems for a patient that is already ill. Some patients will be treated with strong antibiotics to help cure infections and prevent new ones from developing.
