In terms of diet, the care of lung cancer patients should provide patients with a high-protein, adequate vitamin and sufficient calorie diet. Pay attention to the patient's eating habits and keep the oral cavity clean; try to avoid greasy, spicy and other irritating foods, eat small meals frequently, and enhance appetite. To ensure water intake, generally drink more than 1500ml of water per day. Sufficient water can ensure the moisture of the respiratory mucosa, which is conducive to the repair of the diseased mucosa and the dilution and discharge of sputum.

Keep the patient's indoor air fresh and clean, and maintain appropriate temperature (18℃-20℃) and humidity (50%-60%) to give full play to the natural defense function of the respiratory tract.
