How to treat dry cough in lung cancer?

Most of the symptoms of persistent dry cough due to lung cancer are due to tumor cells invading the bronchial tubes, causing bronchial irritation and therefore dry cough. The treatment for different pathological types and different stages of lung cancer is different, but it is better to have a timely interview and the doctor will actively standardize the treatment according to the patient’s specific situation.

If the cough is more severe, it is recommended to visit the respiratory medicine or oncology department, and the dry cough symptoms will be relieved only when the tumor is under control. Appropriate cough suppressant medication is recommended under the guidance of a physician.

It is also important to quit smoking and limit alcohol, to take regular rest and to maintain a good state of mind. It is recommended to combine work and rest and to exercise appropriately to enhance physical fitness.
