If you have problems with dry cough, go to a doctor.
If you fear cancer, get yourself examined. But, remember two things:
1. Not all symptoms will lead to cancer or other dreaded diseases.
2. If dry cough is not resulting in cancer, don't neglect that. It could be a symptom for tuberculosis or some other disease.

Don't think so but if you are doubtful get it checked.A cough is the body's response to inflammation or irritation in the throat, larynx, bronchial tubes or lungs.Some coughs are dry, while others are considered productive.Here are a few simple home remedies that will help to overcome cough. Have honey in a hot drink before bed time.To relieve fits of coughing due to dryness in the throat, suck a few pepper corns. More remedies at http://useinfo6.blogspot.com/
