Insights on oral ulcers in oncology patients

  Oral ulcers are common in oncology, and they can be worse during radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer. Where do you see the ulcers grow? They grow on the tongue and lips. The lips are related to the spleen, the tongue is related to the heart fire, what else is related to the tongue? The most important thing is that you have to be able to get a good idea of what you are doing. The tongue and mouth and lips often coexist in patients with mouth ulcers, which are related to the spleen, heart and kidney meridians.  Mouth ulcers are closely related to the state of life, such as when the person is anxious and sleep deprived at this stage; when drinking less water and vitamin deficiencies are also likely to occur; radiotherapy can cause mouth ulcers, but radiotherapy is more likely to cause ulcers with large areas and heavy degrees, and some patients use lidocaine gel with swallowing to relieve the pain of eating.  How to recognize the pathogenesis of mouth ulcers in Chinese medicine, mostly refers to the heart and kidneys are not easy to mouth ulcers, what causes the heart and kidneys are not intertwined? The reason for this is that the spleen and earth of the middle jiao are trapped and blocked, because the middle jiao is weak in mediating, then the heart fire cannot go down to the kidney and the kidney water cannot moisten the heart, so it causes mouth ulcers.  The best systemic treatment for mouth ulcers is the seal of marrow, which is made up of three herbs: raw licorice, sand, and cypress. The three medicines are the same as those used in the treatment of mouth ulcers. The spleen and lip ulcers can be related to the spleen and earth from the life of the example, we all have such experience, mouth ulcers when eating some spicy ulcers quickly healed, this is why? A student once said that chili peppers contain a lot of vitamins. Then I asked him, kiwifruit contains more vitamins, why can’t eating kiwifruit cure mouth ulcers? This is because spicy things can dissolve dampness, and many ulcers are related to dampness, so the ulcers will naturally heal when the dampness is dissolved.  We all think that the systemic treatment of mouth ulcers is not as good as local treatment, how to local treatment? Nowadays, they are using Rehabin Oral Liquid, a worm extract from Australia. In fact, nine fragrant worms are very useful, nine fragrant worms about ten, sesame oil one or two, fried nine fragrant worms with sesame oil, fried until nine fragrant worms become black, discard the worms and take the sesame oil to apply to the ulcer, sesame oil is nourishing and cold, nine fragrant worms can activate the blood, pain and can also disperse the knots, so the ulcer surface in the ulcer after the application of medicine quickly reduce pain, ulcer surface quickly healed. The tongue zap relevant points such as Jin Jin Yu Liquid, certainly also works, zap the relevant points saliva will be particularly large, saliva itself can sterilize, liquid a lot of can also clear the fire down.  You have all had mouth ulcers, right? Which is the most difficult to treat? The kind of ulcer with nodules under the surface, which requires antibiotics, relatively speaking, the kind of ulcer with hard nodules inside goes down especially slowly. Some people may ask whether the ulcer of leukoaraiosis is very difficult to cure, in fact, it is not difficult to cure, the theory of treatment is similar, using licorice diarrhea heart soup has a certain effect, licorice choose raw licorice diarrhea heart fire, half Xia diarrhea heart soup to go to the spleen and stomach, damp earth a transformation, heart fire can be cleared, natural heart and kidney traffic, the ulcer will heal.  From what I have said above, mouth ulcers that have real fire and deficiency fire, there are also spleen dampness problems, treatment should be a combination of all three to have good results, pay attention not to use too much cold to increase spleen dampness, so that the ulcer healing time delayed. There is also a faster way to treat painful mouth ulcers, which is to stab blood in the sublingual vein and try to sip the blood and spit it out, which is extremely effective in treating mouth ulcers.
