❓Have you had a persistent cough for more than three weeks?

You may not realise that a cough for three weeks or more could be a sign of lung cancer, but it’s vital that you
contact your GP if you have a persistent cough, and don’t wait to see if it resolves on its own.

It’s probably nothing
serious, but finding cancer early makes it more treatable and can save lives.

If you're concerned call us on: 01388 77266 or submit an e-consult here: https://patients.econsult.health/
