Diet after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer suggests light diet, rich nutrition, small meals, abstaining from smoking and drinking.
1. Radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer may damage oral mucosa and cause some reactions in the stomach, so diet should be light and eat more easy-to-digest food and room temperature food. When there are symptoms of dry mouth, it is better to eat some soup food, such as millet porridge and vegetable soup during meals. In addition, quit smoking and drinking, and don’t eat spicy and fried things.
2. After radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the body will become weak and fatigue, so dietary attention should be paid to eating nutritious food, such as high protein type, for example, egg custard, milk, chicken and so on, so as to maintain an optimal nutritional state.
