Excessive sputum after lung cancer surgery is usually caused by postoperative trauma and local inflammation, and the symptoms can usually be relieved by medication, physical drainage or nebulization.
1. Medication: When sputum is thick and sticky, western medicine such as Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Liquid and loquat extract can be used to dilute sputum and promote sputum discharge according to doctor’s instruction, and antibiotics can be used to fight infection if necessary.
2. Physical drainage: The patient can be helped to expel phlegm by using a sputum expectorator, and the patient can also turn over and pat the back more often, which is conducive to the expulsion of phlegm, so that the phlegm can be coughed out.
3. Nebulization: Patients can also inhale acetylcysteine solution through nebulization to assist phlegm expulsion.
When the patient’s condition worsens, relevant examinations should be carried out in time to find out the specific causes, follow the medical advice and standardize the treatment.
