How to treat and care for goiter?

Goiter is clinically known as goiter, which is also a common thyroid disease. The treatment of goiter is actually mainly nursing, and the treatment is multifaceted. Generally speaking, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is better, and patients should also pay attention to dietary care.

1. Get adequate rest and exercise.

When clinical symptoms are significant, bed rest should be the main focus. Activities should be restricted 1 to 2 hours after meals, especially. When clinical symptoms are significantly improved, appropriate activities or physical exercise should be performed while paying attention to rest, but excessive fatigue should be avoided. If there are no clinical symptoms and all laboratory tests are normal, activities can be unrestricted.

2. Emotional care Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a person's mental state is closely related to the body's internal organs, qi and blood, and a person's emotional activities are closely related to the function of the heart to store the spirit. Patients who are energetic and cheerful generally have better therapeutic effects, otherwise it will be worse. Therefore, in nursing, we must care and be considerate of patients, talk with them more, understand their mental state, and guide them to let go of their thoughts.

3. Diet care

The diet should be based on the principles of high calories, high protein, high vitamins, moderate fat and sodium salt intake, and less spicy and irritating condiments. The food should be soft, easy to digest, and rich in nutrition. Do not eat too much high-iodine food, such as kelp, seaweed, jellyfish, seaweed and algae, to prevent poor control of hyperthyroidism. No smoking, no drinking, no strong tea or coffee. Provide adequate carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrates and fats have the effect of saving protein. If they are supplied in sufficient quantities, protein can play its unique physiological functions. Provide adequate vitamins and inorganic salts. Vitamins and inorganic salts can regulate physiological functions and improve body metabolism, especially vitamin B and vitamin C. Adequate calcium and iron should be given to prevent deficiency.
