During chemotherapy, administer appropriate immunostimulatory medications. Maintain regular, balanced meals in daily life; avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. Increase intake of nutrient-dense foods. Ensure adequate rest, prevent infections, minimize visits from others, and avoid crowded places. Maintain a consistent sleep-wake schedule, engage in regular physical exercise, prevent colds, and reduce psychological stress.
