How to effectively relieve cough in lung cancer

How to effectively relieve cough for lung cancer?

Lung cancer has good cough suppression effects through drug therapy, palliative radiotherapy, and lung cancer interventional treatment.

1. Drug treatment

If lung cancer patients have severe cough symptoms, they can consult a doctor to take cough-clearing and phlegm-removing granules. Following the doctor's advice, the medicine can clear the lungs and stop cough, resolve phlegm and calm asthma, and improve symptoms such as excessive sputum and cough. They can also consult a doctor to take compound licorice tablets. Rational use of the medicine can achieve the effect of antitussive and expectorant effects, and relieve symptoms such as cough to a certain extent.

2. Palliative radiotherapy

The purpose of palliative radiotherapy is to inhibit tumor development and delay tumor spread, thereby alleviating the patient's discomfort symptoms such as persistent cough, hemoptysis, atelectasis, etc. If the patient persists in treatment, it can relieve the pain caused by bone metastasis and the symptoms caused by brain metastasis, which helps improve the quality of life.

3. Interventional treatment of lung cancer

Bronchial artery infusion chemotherapy is used for patients with advanced lung cancer who have lost surgical indications or have failed systemic chemotherapy. It produces fewer side effects during treatment and can relieve symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath. If necessary, bronchoscopy-mediated treatment can be used, and active treatment can relieve symptoms such as obstruction, hemoptysis, and cough caused by the tumor.

Patients with severe cough due to lung cancer need to stay away from places with severe environmental pollution, maintain a balanced diet during the onset of the disease, and improve their usual bad eating habits.
