1. Chronic Coughs: Coughs lasting more than 8 weeks can be a sign of chronic lung diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, COPD, or asthma. Untreated, these conditions can lead to lung damage and decreased lung function.
2. Infections: Coughs accompanied by fever, headache, drowsiness, or shortness of breath may indicate a serious infection, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, or the flu. Delayed treatment can lead to severe illness or even death.
3. Blood Clots: A dry, persistent cough can be a symptom of pulmonary embolism, a life-threatening condition where a blood clot travels to the lungs.
4. Lung Collapse: A sudden, severe cough can cause lung collapse (pneumothorax), which requires immediate medical attention.
