What is the cause of excessive sputum in breast cancer

Excessive sputum in breast cancer may be caused by respiratory invasion, bronchiectasis, atelectasis, bronchitis, drug reaction, etc. If the symptoms persist, reasonable treatment should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Invasion of the respiratory tract: If breast cancer cells invade the lungs and cause respiratory tract stenosis, it may cause symptoms such as coughing and sputum. You should rest in bed and take medications such as salbutamol sulfate tablets, aminophylline tablets, and rifampicin tablets as prescribed by your doctor.

2. Bronchiectasis: It is a chronic respiratory disease. Due to the destruction and expansion of the bronchial wall, respiratory secretions increase, and there will be a phenomenon of breast cancer sputum. Nutrition should be strengthened, physical fitness should be enhanced, and drugs such as bromhexine tablets, ambroxol hydrochloride tablets, and salbutamol tablets should be used under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the symptoms.

3. Atelectasis: During the treatment of breast cancer, the lungs will be damaged, which can lead to atelectasis. Atelectasis can cause the sputum in the bronchi to be unable to be discharged normally, and the sputum will be retained, causing symptoms of excessive sputum. You can take a walk, jog, do yoga, etc. to enhance your body's immunity and relieve symptoms. You can also use budesonide tablets, hydrocortisone tablets, cephalosporin tablets and other drugs for treatment as prescribed by your doctor.

4. Bronchitis: In late stage breast cancer, bronchitis may occur after chemotherapy, and a large amount of sputum may be produced under the stimulation of inflammation. Eat milk and eggs in moderation, and use ambroxol hydrochloride dispersible tablets, roxithromycin dispersible tablets, dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets and other drugs as prescribed by the doctor to relieve the symptoms.

5. Drug reaction: Chemotherapy drugs may suppress the function of the immune system, making the body more susceptible to infection, which can lead to symptoms of excessive sputum. Drinking more water can dilute the sputum and relieve it.

Pharyngitis may also cause breast cancer to cause excessive phlegm. In daily life, avoid eating spicy, greasy, high-fat, high-sugar and other foods to avoid aggravating the symptoms of excessive phlegm.
