As Western oncologists note, a painful (especially dry) cough that does not go away within two weeks may be a sign of lung cancer.
It causes concern among doctors and a sudden headache, which also does not go away in two weeks. “If it cannot be removed with medication, then the visit to the doctor should not be delayed, this can warn of a brain tumor,” the doctors emphasized, adding that any obsessive pain in the body requires consultation with a specialist.
Unexplained fatigue is another danger sign. “A sudden drop in energy, no matter how long you sleep, can be a sign of leukemia or lymphoma,” the Express reports, citing doctors.
Previously, oncologist Mark Brown advised against ignoring dry skin if it persists in one particular area.
“If you notice an area of skin that is constantly dry or itchy, you should talk to your doctor, in most cases it is something less serious than cancer, such as eczema,” the specialist noted.
