Worried about your cough? If you’ve had a cough or shortness of breath for three weeks or more, or if you’re just worried, you can answer a few short questions to get advice on what to do.

The tool is now available in seven different languages, making it even easier for everyone to use.

Chances are it’s nothing to worry about, but if it is lung cancer, finding it earlier makes it easier to treat.
