Diet therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with excessive phlegm and fear of cold after radiotherapy

After radiotherapy, patients with nasopharyngeal cancer are prone to phlegm, cough, and chills. This is because the "heat poison" of radiotherapy rays damages the patient's nasopharynx, causing chronic inflammation, etc., resulting in phlegm and cough. At the same time, radiotherapy can reduce the patient's immunity and weaken the body, resulting in chills. At this time, patients can use dietary therapy to effectively relieve symptoms.
