Diet 1: as we all know, smoking and alcohol are more stimulating to our lungs and liver. And our nasopharynx is more direct to this stimulation. So, all patients, remember!! Remember not to eat spicy and stimulating food after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and avoid smoking and alcohol. At the same time, due to radiation damage to salivary glands and mucous membranes, you can eat a cool and non irritating diet. The temperature of the meal should not be too hot. The meat should be chopped. If you can't swallow vegetables or fruits, you can squeeze them into juice and drink them with ice. Eat a small amount of cold drink and drink more yoghurt.
