Lung cancer is one of the most common and serious types of cancer. More than 43,000 people are diagnosed with the condition every year in the UK. There are usually no signs or symptoms in the early stages of lung cancer, but many people with the condition eventually develop symptoms including: > a persistent cough > coughing up blood > persistent breathlessness > unexplained tiredness and weight loss > an ache or pain when breathing or coughing If you have any of these symptoms, please get in touch. Lung cancer mainly affects older people. It's rare in people younger than 40. More than 4 out of 10 people diagnosed with lung cancer in the UK are aged 75 and older. Although people who have never smoked can develop lung cancer, smoking is the most common cause (accounting for more than 70 out of 100 cases). #lungcancerawarenessmonth https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/lung-cancer/
We are experiencing extraordinarily high demand for same day appointments today. A lot of people are getting in touch about sore throats, cough or viral symptoms. Most cough/cold symptoms will get better within a few days (some symptoms such as a cough can last up to 3 weeks). We do not prescribe antibiotics for most people with a cough/sore throats and will generally recommend self care: plenty fluids, rest and paracetamol/decongestants etc. If you are unsure about your symptoms, you can ask your local community pharmacist or NHS111. If you are a parent and unsure when to worry, here are some useful resources: ➡️ https://www.nhs.uk/symptoms/fever-in-children/ ➡️ https://www.healthiertogether.nhs.uk/child-under-5-years/fever
