Dr. Qi Zhirong
After chemotherapy, numbness in the feet can be improved with medications that nourish the nerves and promote blood circulation, under a doctor's guidance. Additionally, patients may relieve symptoms by soaking their feet in warm water daily, which helps enhance local blood circulation and alleviate discomfort. Patients experiencing foot numbness after chemotherapy should avoid prolonged walking to prevent falls, and it is advisable for family members to stay nearby and provide companionship.
