The most common side effect of radiotherapy for lung cancer is radiation pneumonia, and then the most common is that it is easy to cause cough after radiotherapy. This cough is still long-lasting, radiation pneumonia is more difficult to treat clinically. It is not an ordinary antibiotic cough medicine that can work, and this time is relatively longer than six months. It takes more than six months to relieve. Sometimes, patients will show cough after radiotherapy, thinking it is pneumonia or recurrence of lung cancer, but it is not the case.
