Question
A 47-year-old female recently felt pain in her liver and had decreased appetite. After hospital examination, it was found that she had advanced liver cancer and also experienced an increase in phlegm. Is excessive phlegm in the late stages of liver cancer dangerous?
Answer
Excessive phlegm in the late stages of liver cancer may be caused by the tumor invading the stomach or lungs, and it is recommended to undergo relevant examinations. In daily life, it is advised to drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid eating salty, sweet, greasy, and spicy irritant foods, and consume more high-protein and high-vitamin foods while receiving standardized treatment.
