The doctor may reduce the dose of Lenvatinib or tell them to temporarily or permanently stop taking the drug. The length of treatment depends on the patient's response to the drug and the side effects experienced. Continue taking lenvatinib even if you feel well.

In daily life, patients should try to choose easy-to-digest, soft and waxy foods, and eat less spicy, greasy and irritating foods. You can choose light meals, such as rice porridge, noodles, steamed vegetables, etc. Change large meals to small portions and frequent meals, and eat small amounts each time to prevent your stomach from overloading with food at once. To keep the stomach in a fasting state, you can take in some easily digestible food or snacks every 2-3 hours to keep a certain amount of food in the stomach. If gastric discomfort is severe or continues to worsen, you need to follow your doctor's advice and treatment plan, such as taking other medications for treatment.
