Patients after laryngeal cancer surgery should eat dry food rather than liquid food

We all know that cooking nutritious porridge and nourishing soup is the best for weak bodies, especially for patients after surgery. However, patients after laryngeal cancer surgery do not appreciate it and insist on eating dry food. This is because patients after laryngeal cancer surgery are prone to choking when swallowing food, especially liquid food, so they should eat dry food (steamed buns, bread, etc.) first, then eat ordinary food (rice, etc.), and then eat semi-liquid and liquid food (porridge, soup, soup, etc.).

Choking caused by swallowing disorders is the most troubling problem after laryngeal cancer surgery. This is because after laryngeal cancer surgery, patients need to pass through the laryngeal cavity to eat and drink into the esophagus, and the laryngeal cavity is also a passage for gas. Although some technical treatments will be performed during the operation, it cannot completely prevent food from entering the trachea and causing choking. The best way to improve choking is to practice swallowing, which can usually be started 15 to 20 days after surgery. Swallowing exercises can improve choking symptoms to a certain extent, but some patients cannot be relieved and need to be solved through surgical treatment. Patients should build confidence and persist in practice. Do not refuse to eat because of fear of choking, which will only make the situation worse.
