How to care for lung cancer patients? Three things lung cancer patients must do

The occurrence of lung cancer is closely related to smoking, air pollution, occupation and other factors. If you suffer from lung cancer, you must pay attention. How to care for lung cancer patients has become a headache for the patients' families. Here we have solved these problems for you and introduced to you how to care for lung cancer patients in daily life.

1. Home care for lung cancer

We should provide patients with a good environment, avoid noise, and prevent colds. Once the patient coughs up more sputum, the sputum becomes purulent, and the patient has a fever, it means that the patient has a secondary infection and the condition is getting worse. At this time, anti-infection, cough and expectorant treatment should be given in time. First, oral compound licorice tablets and antibiotics should be given. For those who have difficulty expectorating, patting the back can help expectoration. If the effect is not good, send to the hospital for treatment immediately. For patients with pain, their pain relief requirements should be met as much as possible, and do not be afraid of the addictiveness of narcotic analgesics to improve their quality of life.

Psychological care for patients with lung cancer

The psychology of patients with lung cancer is of course negative, and some patients are overly worried, which is very insensitive to the recovery of the disease. Therefore, it is necessary to provide psychological comfort, mental conditioning and life guidance, and the importance of comprehensive treatment of lung cancer. The active role of will and emotion in curing the disease should be eliminated to eliminate the psychological and social factors that are not conducive to treatment. Develop good living habits and have a regular daily life!

3. Dietary care for patients with lung cancer

Diet adjustment is very helpful for recovery from illness. For patients with lung cancer, food should be provided according to the patient's specific condition and digestion and absorption capacity. For example, some patients who have undergone neck surgery are prone to choking when eating, which makes the patient afraid to eat. At this time, soft rice or soft dry semi-liquid food should be given. Patients who have undergone neck radiotherapy have reduced saliva, dry and painful throats, and difficulty swallowing. The diet should be more hydrated and cool.

Lung cancer is very scary, but if you accidentally get lung cancer, you must actively seek treatment and face it with an optimistic attitude. The above are several care methods introduced to you. I hope they can help you. It also reminds you to pay attention to your physical health in life and not wait until you get sick to know how to take care of your body.
