Postoperative fever of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

Some time ago, my neighbor Uncle Wang had an operation for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. After the operation, he was still in the recovery stage. We went to the hospital to see him. He still had a serious fever and his consciousness was not very clear. The doctor said that he needed to continue treatment. Let's talk about the operation for nasopharyngeal carcinoma!

Postoperative fever of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

First of all: in the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, many patients take chemoradiotherapy to control the recurrence and metastasis, but the side effects of these two methods are very large, which can damage the function of various organs and reduce the immunity of patients. So patients with poor resistance, easy to cause fever.

Secondly: most patients have low immunity due to the disease itself or excessive treatment, especially the low white blood cells. They often have fever due to infection, and need to use antibiotics to achieve the effect of reducing fever.

Finally: cancer cells affect the body's ability to regulate body temperature, so it is likely to cause a fever. At this time, we must carefully observe the patient, and if we find any abnormality, we should do the corresponding examination.

matters needing attention

After nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients have a fever, we should first find out what causes the fever, and then take relevant treatment measures to reduce the fever according to the causes. The effect is still very good. In the recovery stage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, we must take good care of their daily life and diet.
