Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Don't be in panic , as last year your lung
X ray was within normal limit , so need not to worry.
You are so scared about cancer that you are not thinking more than this.
Cough with ticking in the throat may be due to ,
1 Asthmatic allergic
bronchitis as this develops sticky mucus ( due to added infection after
allergy) and when it expels from lungs then it stick in throat and you feel such type of tickling . This is not a
post nasal discharge but mucus sticky in nature .
This is the most common symptom in asthmatic allergic patient.
Early in the morning cough ( due to decrease in the temperature ) is an indication of asthmatic allergic bronchitis.
2
Tuberculosis , can be confirmed by X ray ( fresh ) and consult a physician and get his opinion. However early tubercular lesion may be .
3 Cancer least possibility but fresh X ray and MRI will find out the exact nature of disease.
As all symptoms resembles like asthma , so consultation with a physician will help.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
