Symptoms of cancer that overlap with those of hay fever
The most common cancer symptoms usually mistaken for hay fever are throat irritation and rough or raspy voice, which can be signs of neck or head cancer. Intense coughs can be a sign of lung cancer and hay fever too.
What should you be looking for now hay fever season is underway
To determine whether someone has hayfever, I recommend you check for frequent coughs, sneezing, watery eyes, itching or earaches, runny or fluid nose, shallow breathing, sore throat, nostril blockage, headaches, wheezing, red and stuffy nose.
How can you distinguish between the two
To determine whether it’s hay fever, limit your interactions with hay fever triggers such as dust, pollen, hair, and furs. If the symptoms improve, you likely have hay fever, but if they persist even after taking all safety measures, they might be early cancer warnings. Observing other symptoms of each disease can help you evaluate your condition, as not all signs overlap. Diagnosis and screening can also aid in identifying cancer.
