How to treat cough caused by chemotherapy for lung cancer

With the level of modern medicine, there are many options for the treatment of lung cancer. In addition to the commonly used surgical treatment, chemotherapy for lung cancer is also a good way to control the disease and inhibit cancer. However, chemotherapy for lung cancer is prone to cause various adverse reactions, which requires patients to adjust their own condition more on a daily basis.

Symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath often occur after chemotherapy for lung cancer. This is mainly due to lung radiotherapy, especially the hilar and mediastinal areas. After a few months of adequate irradiation, radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis occurs. When undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer, first of all, psychological care should be actively provided to keep the patient in a good mental state, build confidence in overcoming the disease, and be prepared to fight the disease for a long time. The frequency and depth of the patient's breathing should be closely observed. If severe breathing difficulties occur, oxygen should be given immediately, and prednisone or dexamethasone should be dripped intravenously. At the same time, attention should be paid to changes in body temperature and coughing conditions in patients undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer, and correct conditioning and treatment measures should be taken according to specific symptoms.

The above is the treatment method for adverse symptoms such as coughing caused by lung cancer chemotherapy. It is hoped that by correctly handling the symptoms caused by lung cancer chemotherapy, the side effects caused by radiation therapy can be reduced and the pain of patients undergoing lung cancer chemotherapy can be alleviated.
