Apple-like nodules in the pharynx: pharyngeal lupus is characterized by the same insidious onset and painless development as lupus in other areas. When lupus occurs on the face or nose and typical applesauce-like nodules occur in the pharynx, the diagnosis is easy, but a biopsy is still required to confirm the diagnosis. What are the dietary considerations for applesauce-like nodules in the pharynx? Patients are advised to eat foods high in protein; foods high in vitamin C; foods with a calm taste; spicy and stimulating foods; and dry foods. Foods to be eaten Cowpea: relatively rich in vitamin C, mild and non-irritating, providing essential nutrients for the repair of lupus. Eat 200-300g fried daily. String beans: rich in protein and a wide variety of amino acids, and high in fiber, which are good for cleaning the intestinal tract and increasing nutrient absorption, providing the necessary nutritional base as well as absorption conditions for the recovery of this disease. 300-500g per day is fine. It can be eaten directly fried or boiled in water. Tomatoes: rich in vitamin C and B, good for the removal of oxygen free radicals, good for the recovery of the disease. 1-3 per day, direct consumption is sufficient. Fish: Protein is cold and rich, and the taste is relatively calm, not on fire, which has a certain regulating effect on lupus. Take about 500g per day, after deep-frying, stewed. Avoid food Dry peas: fried food, which is relatively dry, is an irritant for the pharynx and has the effect of accelerating tissue damage. Try to avoid. Chili pepper: Spicy and irritating food, which is also irritating to the pharynx, is not conducive to the recovery of lupus and even has the risk of inducing aggravation. Absolutely contraindicated.
