Laryngeal cancer patients should pay attention to the nutritional balance of their diet and develop a scientific diet care plan. This plays an important role in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients, and can speed up their recovery after surgery, improve their immune function, and avoid complications such as infection.

1. The diet should be nutritious, light and easy to digest. In particular, it should provide enough protein and vitamins. The food should be diversified and pay attention to color, aroma, taste and shape to increase the patient's appetite. Avoid eating greasy food. You can add some appetizers to stimulate the patient's appetite and eat small meals frequently.

2. Choose the following foods according to the symptoms: People with hoarseness should eat more radish, pear, ginkgo, coix seed, plum, etc.; people with dysphagia should eat more almonds, peach kernels, lily, etc.; people with hemoptysis should eat more lotus root powder, day lily, etc.

3. Choose more foods that have anti-pharyngitis and laryngeal cancer effects, such as plantain leaves, amaranth, fermented black beans, almonds, loofah, eggplant, etc.

4. Use spicy and irritating foods with caution. When there is a concurrent infection, do not eat hot foods such as dog meat and mutton. Encourage patients to eat, and arrange their diet appropriately according to their physical constitution. When patients feel good and have an appetite, they can eat as much as possible. There is no need to impose too many restrictions. Do not force yourself to eat food you don’t like, so as not to cause nausea and vomiting.
