Persistent Cough
Coughs certainly aren’t uncommon. However, if you find that your cough isn’t connected to the run-of-the-mill cold or the weather or smoke, you might want to to schedule a visit with a medical professional. According to a member of the Department of Translational Neurosciences and Neurotherapeutics at the John Wayne Cancer Center, Dr. Santosh Kesari, MD, PhD, and a board-certified neuro-oncologist, chronic cough is one of the first noticed symptoms of lung cancer. And no, you do not have to be a prolific smoker to get lung cancer.
