Recently I saw a young man who had a chronic cough. I did a chest X-ray, and it showed a tumor that was eventually diagnosed as germinal cell cancer. Luckily for him, this tumor is very treatable.
Another case was a middle age man who was diagnosed with tuberculosis from the chest X-ray. In another case, a man with a prolonged runny nose turned out to have a cancer of his throat.
The lesson is to do at least some simple tests to rule out other conditions before thinking of allergy.
My learning continues
