What to do if you have nasal congestion due to nasopharyngeal cancer? What should you pay attention to in your diet?

1. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma originates from the nasopharyngeal mucosal epithelium. It has the characteristics of hidden primary site, difficult to be detected early, poor pathological differentiation and high malignancy.

2. Nasal congestion is caused by the toxic side effects of radiotherapy. Radiotherapy has a good inhibitory effect on tumor cells. Cancer cells will still be active after radiotherapy. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine as soon as possible, which can alleviate symptoms such as dry mouth and nasal congestion caused by radiotherapy. It can also inhibit and eliminate tumors, prevent recurrence and metastasis, and improve the quality of life, thereby achieving good long-term efficacy. In order to reduce the impact of complications during radiotherapy on treatment, it is recommended to use 16.2% ginsenoside Rh2 life-protecting agent together during radiotherapy, which can improve patients' disease resistance and enhance the resistance of normal cells to radiation.

3. Since nasopharyngeal cancer patients are affected by the disease, have heavy psychological burdens, poor appetite, and low resistance, family members should be guided to encourage patients to eat, and give them high-protein, high-vitamin, low-fat, and easily digestible foods, such as beans, milk, fungus, carrots, etc. Tell patients to quit smoking and drinking, avoid eating raw, cold, hard food, spicy food, and moldy food. At the same time, guide family members to create a clean and comfortable eating environment for patients, pay attention to color, aroma, and taste, and provide patients with delicious food and rich nutrition.
