Attention to diet after laryngeal cancer operation

First, choking caused by swallowing is the most perplexing problem after laryngeal cancer surgery. After the operation, patients need to eat and drink water through the laryngeal lumen to enter the esophagus, and the gas in the lung also needs to pass through this lumen. Although some technical treatment will be done during the operation, it is difficult to ensure that no food in the common lumen will enter the trachea and cause cough.

Second, the best way to deal with cough is to practice swallowing. Generally speaking, patients should begin to practice swallowing 15 or 20 days after surgery. At the beginning, it is best to choose dry food such as bread and steamed bread.

Third, if you can swallow the food smoothly, you can practice eating half dry food, such as rice, noodles and so on. Finally, you can drink porridge, soup, water and so on.

When swallowing, some patients change their posture, such as bowing down, which is not easy to cough. Some patients are not easy to cough to the left, while others are not easy to cough to the right. Although we haven't summarized what kind of patient's position is not easy to cough, we can try to change the patient's position when swallowing to make swallowing easier.
