Sleep late, stay up late, plus modern people are used to eating hot and spicy, greasy food, alcohol and smoking and other bad habits, the body is easy to fire, especially for long-term stress, mental tension, fluctuations, often fatigue, sleep deprivation, more likely to “cover up” mouth ulcers. In addition, there are three types of people need to focus on preventing mouth ulcers. First, women before and after the holidays, due to sudden changes in the body hormone levels, mouth ulcers are prone to recurrence; second, nutritional deficiencies, anemia, especially the lack of iron and B vitamins; third, “careless people”, the use of roughly made dentures, toothbrushes, eat too hot food or accidentally bite themselves, can become a trigger, this This situation accounts for 38% of recurrent mouth ulcers. Some toothpastes and mouthwashes contain sodium lauryl sulfate, which is responsible for the white foam when brushing teeth. This chemical has been shown in a Norwegian medical study to increase the risk of mouth ulcers because it destroys the mucin, the protective layer of the mouth. In addition, digestive system diseases such as chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, enteritis, constipation, as well as improper medication, environmental pollution, etc., are also clear causes of the disease. Find the cause and reduce the attack The treatment of mouth ulcers is divided into two parts: local and systemic. Topical focus on anti-inflammatory, pain relief and healing promotion can effectively relieve the condition and significantly improve the quality of life. There are many drugs to promote healing. Chinese medicine is mainly Guilin watermelon cream, pearl powder and other bulking agents, while western medicine is mainly creams and films containing corticosteroids, antibiotics or growth factors. When choosing local medication, you can try Chinese medicine before western medicine. Systemic treatment is to shorten the duration of each attack and extend the interval between attacks. Treatment methods include herbal conditioning, immune preparation conditioning, gastrointestinal disorders and anti-anemia treatment. Moreover, systemic treatment should feel the original disease. For example, oral squamous carcinoma should be operated as soon as possible; oral tuberculosis should focus on anti-tuberculosis treatment; oral lichen planus, discoid lupus erythematosus, leukoplakia, etc. should be grasped for immunotherapy. At the same time, bad habits such as lip biting, cheek biting and tongue biting should be corrected, and residual teeth should be extracted or unsuitable dentures should be modified. Therefore, this process is complicated and patients should not self-medicate but should be under the guidance of doctors. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that there is a difference between deficiency and reality in mouth ulcers. Generally, the first episode of mouth ulcers belong to the real evidence, the onset is fierce, the ulcer surface is often yellow, the area is large, the first use of local therapeutic drugs, such as the most commonly used Guilin watermelon cream to quickly solve the pain and promote the healing of the ulcer surface, in addition with the use of niuhuang detoxification pill and so on to do recuperation. The color is often white and the area is not large, so it is also necessary to use topical medications such as Guilin watermelon cream to quickly solve the pain and promote the healing of the ulcer surface, in addition to taking Liu Wei Di Huang Wan and other regimen. However, Chinese medicine can identify deficiency and reality, which involves many principles that are difficult for ordinary people to grasp, so it is best to listen to your doctor. The first step to prevention and treatment is to identify the attack pattern and triggering factors of mouth ulcers. People who are prone to the disease should pay attention to oral hygiene and establish good dietary habits.

Again, pay attention to nutritional balance, increase the intake of fruits and vegetables in order to supplement a variety of vitamins and minerals. There is an old Chinese saying that “food and medicine are not separate”, and there is no shortage of recipes that can assist in the treatment of mouth ulcers. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time, and you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time. Boiled yam, lotus heart and red dates soup, almond and walnut soup and glutinous rice and red bean porridge have the effect of nourishing Yin and replenishing Qi. During the ulcer attack period, eat less and more meals and semi-liquid food. After each meal, rinse your mouth with salt water, saline or medicated mouthwash to prevent food residues from aggravating secondary infection. Be regular in your daily life, adhere to physical exercise, and keep your bowels open. Keep a happy mood, get enough sleep, and avoid excessive fatigue. Women should take more rest during and around their periods. Buy a toothbrush with soft bristles, do frequent oral examinations, and repair bad teeth in time.
