Common medication misunderstandings among tongue cancer patients

Tongue cancer is a disease that occurs in the human oral cavity. This disease is extremely painful. Many tongue cancer patients are always difficult to cure during treatment. They keep getting sick after a long period of treatment. Doctors say that this is caused by medication misunderstandings, but patients are not very clear about it. Today we will talk about common medication misunderstandings among tongue cancer patients.

Regarding the common medication misunderstandings of tongue cancer patients, let's make a simple analysis below:

In fact, the most commonly used medications for tongue cancer are anti-cancer drugs and cytotoxic drugs. These drugs are prescribed by doctors based on the severity of the patient's condition. Patients cannot change or stop taking the drugs on their own. As for what drugs should be used, doctors prescribe them according to the individual, so there is no fixed rule. Patients just need to follow the doctor's instructions on taking the drugs.

Therefore, the most common medication misunderstanding among tongue cancer patients is to change or stop medications on their own. Some patients feel that their condition has improved and they do not need to take medications anymore, so they stop taking medications on their own without the doctor's permission. This is a very big medication misunderstanding.

Some patients, seeing that their own illness can never be cured, will inquire about the conditions of their fellow patients. Seeing that their fellow patients have recovered better than themselves and are using different medicines from themselves, some patients will replace the medicines prescribed by the doctor with the ones used at home. This is also a major misunderstanding of medication for tongue cancer patients.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone can understand the common medication misunderstandings of tongue cancer patients. Here we hope that all tongue cancer patients can follow the doctor's orders and take medications. Without the doctor's consent, you must not stop or change the medication on your own. This is a very dangerous behavior. Please keep it in mind.

Finally, let us introduce to you the precautions for tongue cancer:

1. Poor oral hygiene: If you do not pay attention to oral hygiene, it will create conditions for bacteria or mold to breed and multiply in the mouth, which is conducive to the formation of nitrosamines and their precursors, thus contributing to the occurrence of tongue cancer. Therefore, friends should pay attention to oral hygiene in daily life.

2. Long-term foreign body stimulation: What factors are related to tongue cancer? If the oral cavity is stimulated by residual roots or crowns of teeth, sharp tooth tips, and inappropriate dentures for a long time, chronic inflammation and even cancer will occur, leading to the occurrence of tongue cancer.

3. Long-term addiction to smoking and drinking: According to a data from the United States, the incidence of tongue cancer in people who are addicted to smoking and drinking is 15 times higher than that of people who do not smoke or drink. Experts point out that alcohol and nicotine can act as solvents for carcinogens, causing carcinogens to enter the tongue mucosa, thus causing tongue cancer, which needs to be taken seriously.
