Preoperative and postoperative care for tongue cancer:

1. Preoperative diet.

Before surgery, obese patients should adhere to a high-protein, low-fat diet, supplement more vitamins, store some protein and consume body fat to prevent excessive body fat from affecting wound healing; thinner patients should have a high-calorie, high-protein, high-vitamin diet before surgery to enable patients to maintain a normal weight and better tolerate surgery.

2. Diet after surgery.

It is generally difficult to eat in the early postoperative period. You can eat mainly liquid or semi-liquid food, and then slowly transition to a normal diet. You can drink more milk, eat more dairy products and soy products, eat more lotus root powder, fresh fruits, fish, eggs, beef, etc., to supplement fat, protein and vitamins, promote nutrition, strengthen physical fitness and improve immunity.

Eliminate or reduce carcinogenic factors, such as dealing with residual roots, misaligned teeth, sharp tooth tips, poor restorations, and avoiding frequent damage and irritation to the oral mucosa; pay attention to oral hygiene, do not eat too hot and irritating foods; quit smoking and drinking.

For any disease, prevention is better than cure. Don't wait until you get sick to prevent it, it will be too late. Good living habits and eating habits are the key to staying away from all diseases. If you want to stay away from tongue cancer, you should pay more attention to oral hygiene, protect your teeth, and avoid damage to your mouth caused by teeth. These will play an important role in preventing tongue cancer.
