I have nasopharyngeal cancer and have undergone 33 radiotherapy sessions

Long-term adverse reactions after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma are dry mouth and loss of taste. As time goes by, these two symptoms may not improve significantly. If necessary, I suggest that you consult a Chinese medicine doctor for treatment, especially the dry mouth reaction, which is quite effective. Pain in the cervical spine, hands and head may be a complication caused by radiotherapy. It should recover slowly after the end of radiotherapy. Now you can treat the symptoms. If the pain is severe, you can use some painkillers. For patients with late, middle and late stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, chemotherapy is generally used.

What should I do if I have toothache four years after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor and is usually treated with radiotherapy. After exposure to radiation, the periodontal tissue swells and then shrinks and necrotizes, resulting in radiation caries, which causes tooth pain. Oral hygiene should be strengthened in daily life, and anti-inflammatory and detoxifying mouthwashes should be used frequently. Fluoride toothpaste and traditional Chinese medicine treatment should be used to relieve the toxic side effects of radiation. Toothache after nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy can be relieved by painkillers or ibuprofen sustained-release capsules. It is also necessary to clarify the cause of the toothache, whether it is caused by radiotherapy, oral disease or tooth inflammation. You should also go to a regular dental department to check the cause.

How to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the middle stage

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor that occurs in the nasopharyngeal mucosa.

The preferred radiotherapy method for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is radiotherapy.
