Patients with laryngeal tumors must pay attention to dietary issues

The dietary problem after laryngeal tumor surgery brings great pain to patients, but persistence is the key to solving the dietary problem after laryngeal tumor surgery. In fact, the solution to this problem cannot be generalized, and it needs to be done according to the specific situation of the patient.

Postoperative dietary problems of laryngeal tumor patients seriously affect their recovery and life. Choking caused by swallowing is the most troublesome problem after laryngeal tumor surgery. After surgery, patients must pass through the laryngeal cavity to eat and drink water into the esophagus, and the air in the lungs must also pass through this cavity. Although some technical treatments will be performed during the operation, it is difficult to ensure that no food enters the shared cavity and causes choking. Experts say that the best way to deal with choking is to practice swallowing.

Generally speaking, patients should start to practice swallowing 15 to 20 days after surgery. At first, it is best to choose dry food, such as bread and steamed buns. Such food can form a solid rice ball after chewing, which is relatively "complete" and not easy to enter the trachea, which can reduce the occurrence of choking.

Some patients are less likely to choke when they change their body position when swallowing, such as bending their waist. Some people are less likely to choke when they turn to the left, and some people are less likely to choke when they turn to the right. Although it has not been summarized what kind of patients and what body position are less likely to choke, patients can try to change their body position when swallowing to make swallowing easier.
