A member asked:
I suffer from cough for last 15 years in winter. difficulty in talking. no problem in summer. may it be cancer.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Cancer would not cause the seasonal symptoms you described. Cold can induce an allergic reaction in some patients. Some people even get asthma in cold weather. Try taking anti-histaminics, available in drugs stores without prescription. If that does not help,it would be time to see your doctor.

Very good evening doctors. How would I know if occasional blood in my saliva/sputum with no cough at all and no feeling of fever could be a pulmonary/lung cancer problem or a gum/dental issue? I am on Plavix 75mg and aspirin 81mg and I have stents?
