What Causes Severe Persistent Cough After Treating Metastasized Cervical Cancer In Neck?
I had my thyroid removed a year ago, along with some metastasized cervical cancer in my neck and on my vocal chord. I now have a cough that gets so severe that I can t stop, at times for hours. The ENT I ve been seeing has no answers. How can I stop the cough?

Hi,
I'm afraid, the cough you have suggests lung metastasis. It can be controlled by chemtherapy. You need to consult your onchologist urgently for confirmed diagnosis & treatment of the symptom.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
