Persistent Cough
A cough is our body’s way of ridding itself of phlegm and other unwelcome gunk. Although many common health issues, including the common cold and allergies, present themselves with a cough, a persistent cough that doesn’t seem to want to go away could be a sign of something more serious like lung cancer therefore see your doctor if you experience a cough lasting more than a month. A cough associated with cancer can lead to hoarseness and even the coughing up of blood. Therefore, if you happen to notice any blood when you cough, bring this to your doctor’s attention, as it could be an indicator of cancer of the neck, head, or lungs or thyroid cancer.
