How to treat leucocyte low after radiotherapy

The treatment of low white blood cells after radiotherapy mainly includes diet adjustment, drug treatment and life care.

1. Diet adjustment

After radiotherapy, white blood cells decrease, and it is necessary to pay attention to appropriate nutrition for patients. Eat more foods rich in high quality protein, such as sea cucumber, sea fish, shrimp, lean meat, eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, milk, goat milk, protein powder, etc. These foods can help improve the physical condition of radiotherapy patients and also contribute to the recovery of bone marrow function. In addition to eating high-protein foods, patients should also be appropriately supplemented with fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and trace elements, such as tomatoes, apples, bananas, etc.

2. Drug treatment

If the patient's white blood cells are significantly reduced, radiotherapy needs to be stopped, and under the guidance of a doctor, white blood cell drugs are given for symptomatic treatment. Recombinant human granulocyte stimulating factor injection can be used for subcutaneous injection, and white blood cells should be reviewed daily to observe changes in white blood cell levels. If white blood cell recovery is slow or white blood cell count continues to decline, you can increase the dose within the scope allowed by the instructions. In addition, you can also take oral drugs for treatment, such as Likejun tablets, Sanguisorba whitening tablets, etc. These drugs help to promote the recovery of bone marrow hematopoietic function.

3. Life care

Patients with white blood cell reduction after radiotherapy should pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep, pay attention to window ventilation, so that patients can breathe fresh air
