How to relieve severe vomiting caused by chemotherapy?

For many cancer patients, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are generally used to treat the disease. Chemotherapy may also produce some adverse reactions, such as vomiting, which is one of the more obvious side effects. In addition to using some normal medications, chemotherapy patients should also pay attention to conditioning their lives to reduce the discomfort caused by vomiting. When chemotherapy nausea is severe, there are some ways to relieve it:

1. Note 1

Patients undergoing chemotherapy need to make many changes in their diet. First of all, patients undergoing chemotherapy can use light, cold food or drinks, and eat sour or salty foods to relieve and reduce the symptoms of chemotherapy. Be sure to avoid foods that are too sweet or too greasy.

2. Note 2

Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy must be careful not to eat or eat less food rich in tryptophan. Because tryptophan can cause gastrointestinal abnormalities in patients after chemotherapy, change intestinal digestive function, and cause diarrhea, etc. Foods rich in tryptophan include: bananas, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and so on.

3. Note three

Before chemotherapy, patients must abstain from food and drink for more than 2 hours to keep their body and mind in the best condition.

4. Note four

Patients undergoing chemotherapy must eat something before exercising, preferably biscuits or toast.

5. Note five

We must maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, and must use both Chinese and Western medicine for treatment. We should find a nationally renowned old Chinese medicine doctor who studies tumors to take the patient's pulse and prescribe some Chinese medicine to relieve the toxic side effects and fill the gaps in chemotherapy.
