Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadly types of cancer, according to the NHS. Most cases of the disease are caused by smoking, although you can still develop lung cancer even if you’ve never smoked before. The cancer doesn’t usually cause any symptoms until it has spread to other parts of the body. One of the most common signs of lung cancer is having a bad cough that won’t go away, it’s been revealed.
A cough that seems to be getting worse could be one of the earliest, and most common, signs of lung cancer. The cough may be getting progressively more painful, or even make a different sound from normal.
