10 Lung Cancer Symptoms
Symptom #5: Coughing
A cough is a repetitive and sudden reflex that helps to clear the breathing passages from irritants, microbes, fluids, and foreign particles. Coughing can be triggered by air pollution, choking, asthma, smoking, gastroesophageal reflux disease, chronic bronchitis, post-nasal drip, heart failure, side effect of medication, lung tumors, and more.
The treatment of cough depends on the underlying cause. Cough suppressants can be prescribed but have been shown to have little effect.
