One of the most common symptoms of lung cancer is a long, debilitating cough. You should be wary if a cough does not go away within three weeks, experts at the National Health Service of Great Britain (NHS) explained.
However, many patients with oncology note that coughing is often accompanied by chest pain, and in some cases, hoarseness or shortness of breath.
An extremely alarming sign is the appearance of sputum of a rusty color or blood when coughing. As explained by the NHS, of course, this does not mean that a person has oncology. This kind of discharge occurs with bronchitis, nosebleeds, chest infections, and so on. However, in any case, this is a serious reason to consult a doctor. Previously, researchers from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the United States found that people who regularly consume yogurt and fiber are much less likely to have lung cancer.
