matters needing attention

After suffering from esophageal cancer, we should pay special attention to the diet, because we must not scratch the throat. When the patient has a choking feeling, do not force to swallow, otherwise it will stimulate local cancer tissue bleeding, diffusion, metastasis and pain. When choking is serious, you should take liquid food or semi liquid food. Avoid eating cold liquid food, and don't drink noodles, milk, egg soup, etc. that are cold for a long time. Because the narrow part of the esophagus is very obvious to stimulate cold food, it is easy to cause esophageal spasm, nausea, vomiting, pain, distension and numbness. So it's better to eat warm food.
