Because each person's physical condition and chemotherapy regimen are different, there is no fixed standard for water intake during chemotherapy.

However, this amount should also be adjusted according to the patient's specific situation.

How should the method and type of water intake be chosen?

1.Drink water in small amounts, multiple times, with small sips, at intervals of 30-60 minutes.

2.It is recommended to drink warm boiled water, plain boiled water, or light salt water. Avoid drinking cold water or ice water in large amounts to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. Patients using oxaliplatin should avoid drinking cold water.

3.It is not recommended to replace plain water with beverages such as coffee or strong tea.

4.If you really have no appetite for plain water, you can add an appropriate amount of lemon honey water, goji berries, etc., to boiled water to enhance taste and nutrition.
