Hi
My mum has stage 4 lung cancer and since her chemo stopped she has had a persistent cough that is getting worse.
The doctor prescribed a linctus bottle to try and a nose spray but they don’t seem to have any effect.
We are due to see her consultant soon but wondered if anyone could give any recommendations for treating the cough in the mean time?
many thanks
Hi MissC sorry to hear your mum is struggling with a cough post chemo. It is really hard to find something to help which is not on prescription. I tried everything when my cough was bad. The amount of cough sweets I got through, I also drank a lot of hot honey and lemon. This did ease the my throat which was irritated by all the coughing.
There are inhalers that can be prescribed to help open the airwaves which may help her, so hopefully the oncologist can help with this.
