Special attention should be paid to the diet issues during nasopharyngeal cancer surgery. You can eat the following foods:

1. Lily and Tremella Soup: Prepare 100g fresh lily, 20g Tremella, and 30g rock sugar. Soak the Tremella in warm water for 1 hour. Then put it into the pot with the lily, add appropriate amount of water, simmer until the soup becomes sticky, add rock sugar and melt it, then you can eat it.

2. Carrot and Tremella Soup: Prepare 50g carrot, 20g Tremella, 25g rock sugar, wash the carrot, peel and slice it. Soak the Tremella in warm water for 1 hour, wash it, cut off the roots, then put the Tremella and carrot into a casserole, add appropriate amount of water, boil it over low heat, add rock sugar, and cook until the soup is thick and sticky.

3. Clam meat stewed with cinnabar: Prepare 500g of raw clams with shells, wash them, crush them and take out the meat, 2g of cinnabar, and 1 bowl of boiling water. Put them into a porcelain pot and stew for 5 hours. Eat the meat and drink the soup. Take once a day. One course of treatment is 15 consecutive days.

4. Fish brain stone mung bean porridge: prepare 25 grams of fish brain stone, 50 grams of mung beans, and 50 grams of red beans. Crush the fish brain stone into a very fine powder, cook it with mung beans and red beans and take it as porridge. Once a day.

As for specific nursing issues, everyone also needs to pay attention to the fact that the patient will have a small amount of bleeding after the operation, and appropriate compression can be given to stop the bleeding. If a tendency of new bleeding is found, the wound should be opened in time to observe the bleeding and stop the bleeding again. The dressing usually needs to be changed on the second day after the operation. Those who have undergone laryngeal function reconstruction and partial laryngectomy can use a plugging tube to speak after the wound heals. Those who have undergone complete laryngectomy can wait until they have recovered and then conduct some special training on esophageal pronunciation. At the same time, you should also pay attention to oral hygiene, rinse your mouth frequently, and avoid tooth extraction within one year.
