Dr. Peng Xiaodong
After chemotherapy, immunity can usually be enhanced by consuming protein-rich foods such as fish, eggs, and shrimp, which help supply necessary nutrients and thereby boost the immune system. Additionally, under a doctor's guidance, immunomodulatory medications may be used to improve immunity. Commonly used drugs include transfer factor oral solution and mannan peptide oral solution.
