The occurrence and development of radioactive oral mucositis is the result of multiple factors [1]. Patients with head and neck radiotherapy have a high incidence of radioactive oral mucositis, and more than 80% of patients have radioactive oral mucositis during radiotherapy and chemotherapy [2]. At present, the medical field has formulated corresponding evaluation, prevention and nursing standards for oral mucositis [3]. In the actual process of radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment, the implementation of relevant treatment measures is low, which cannot meet the needs of radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. Oral care is an important measure for the management of oral conditions and symptoms [4]. Honey has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antioxidant effects, and is an effective auxiliary program for the treatment of radioactive oral mucositis and related pain relief [5]. Enteral nutrition support is an effective method to maintain and improve the nutritional status of patients. In the intervention work of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the combined application of the above two schemes can effectively improve the damage caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy to patients, reduce the incidence of radiation oral mucositis, and delay the progression of radiation oral mucositis. This study will take 80 patients with malignant tumors of oral cancer treated by radiotherapy and chemotherapy in our hospital as an example, and try to integrate honey wet compress into the comprehensive oral care program and combine it with enteral nutrition program, so as to explore the effect of this program on the occurrence and development of oral mucositis caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
