The following nursing measures should be taken for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma:

1. Patients with nasopharyngeal cancer often have their oral glands damaged by radiotherapy, which reduces saliva flow and leads to dry mouth. Nasopharyngeal cancer is located in the upper part of the posterior nasal aperture, and usually due to the tumor blocking the nostrils, oral breathing, rapid distribution of oral moisture, dry mouth and chapped lips. Pay attention to providing patients with enough drinking water, or provide black plums, American ginseng and vitamin C tablets containing thirst-quenching saliva.

2. Dry lips can be moistened with gauze moistened with oil or saline; acupuncture of the Guanjiang, Lianquan, Hegu, Yuji and other acupoints can relieve the symptoms of dry mouth.

3. If there is an infection, purulent secretions will flow out of the ears and nostrils, and there may even be a peculiar smell. The nasolacrimal duct is blocked and the eyes are prone to infection. Pay special attention to keeping the nose, ears, and eyes clean. The nasal cavity can be rinsed with 0.5% soda solution and then dripped with 0.25% chloramphenicol to prevent infection; the ear canal can be wiped with a small cotton swab and then dripped with chloramphenicol solution; or rinsed with 0.5%~1% hydrogen peroxide and then dripped with medicine.

4. Keep the room clean, quit smoking and drinking, avoid eating too cold, too hot, or too spicy food, and pay attention to oral hygiene.

5. The patient's fear and tension should be reduced so that the patient can cooperate closely with the treatment.
