How to deal with mouth ulcers?

Mouth ulcers occur mostly in the oral mucosa and the edge of the tongue, which are usually white and surrounded with redness. Mouth ulcers are very painful.

Eat more fresh fruit and vegetable

Eat more than 500g of vegetable and 2-3 kinds of fruit per day. You should also drink more water. Adults are advised to drink 1.5-2liters of water daily, which is very helpful in preventing and treating mouth ulcers.

 

Consume high-quality protein

 

High-quality protein is a necessary nutrient for repairing mouth ulcers. Milk, eggs, lean meat, seafood and beans are all good sources of high-quality protein.

Maintain a regular lifestyle

 

Keep a regular lifestyle and avoid smoking and alcohol during the recovery period. Take moderate exercise on a daily basis, and avoid excessive fatigue.

Maintain oral hygiene

 

Mouth ulcers can cause pain when you eat or brush your teeth. Many people try to avoid brushing their teeth because of the pain, which is wrong. You can brush your teeth and gargle with light salt water.

 

Dietary precautions

 

If you have mouth ulcers, try to avoid spicy, stimulating, and excessively hot foods, and at the same time avoid potential damage caused by rough, sharp and hard foods to the mucous membrane.

 

It is also important to avoid excessively stimulating the wound with your tongue or teeth, which can hinder the healing of the ulcer surface and even result in the expansion of the ulcer area.

Correct use of medicine

 

Choose topical medication to reduce inflammation, relieve pain and prevent infection. If it does not work after more than a week of use, please stop taking the medicine and seek medical help.
