About nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy
After radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, it is advisable to eat more light and digestible food, avoid pickled, fried, fried, stir-fried and other foods, eat more fresh fruits rich in vitamins, give priority to stewing, quit smoking, drink more than 2500ml a day, and do not drink too hot or too cold water. The temperature of tea is 40-60 degrees. When boiling water, you can inhale water vapor through your nose in front of the cup, which can ensure that the nasal mucosa is moist.

Because its radiotherapy site is mainly in the head and neck, radiation will kill cancer cells and lose normal tissues and cells, so it will affect facial nerves and muscles to a certain extent, which is a common side effect of treatment. If you want to relieve this symptom, you can try facial massage, take B vitamins, give facial muscles passive movement and drugs that nourish nerve cells, and further promote the relief of facial discomfort symptoms. It will take some time to take effect (clinical trials usually take about 3 months)
