The average person is certainly no stranger to mouth ulcers, and those who have never encountered them …… may not be earthlings. I believe we have all experienced the “soreness” of an ulcer attack, so here we will not introduce the performance of mouth ulcers, and look directly at how to respond properly. The causes of mouth ulcers are unknown To treat a disease, you must understand its causes. Many people think that because mouth ulcers are so common, they are usually the result of vitamin deficiency, and that eating more fruits and vegetables will help. Unfortunately, despite the fact that modern medical technology is quite advanced, the real cause of this common disease is still not understood. However, the basic medical consensus is that the cause of common recurrent mouth ulcers is not “vitamin deficiency” and that eating certain fruits and vegetables can aggravate mouth ulcers. There are still ways to deal with mouth ulcers Although the cause is unknown, making mouth ulcers an incurable “terminal disease”, but people through long-term observation and practice, summed up a set of scientific and effective methods to deal with. 1, conventional treatment measures Doctors often prescribe some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs, mainly for local use in the ulcer. When the pain is unbearable to the extreme, the doctor may use local anesthetics to anesthetize the ulcer surface to reduce the pain. The occurrence of mouth ulcers is also related to the imbalance of the systemic immune system, so the doctor may use immune-boosting drugs. 2. How to properly “fix it myself”? Lazy people definitely don’t want to go to the hospital and think that they can take care of such minor problems that can heal by themselves. It is relatively safe to take over-the-counter medications such as commercially available Huasu tablets (Cetiol), but please check the instructions carefully before using them. If you are a child, be sure to use the medication under the supervision of a parent. Use with caution in patients with hyperthyroidism. When the mouth ulcer lasts longer than you expect and there is no trend of relief from the symptoms, it is better to go to the hospital and register for help from a dentist. 3. If everything hurts when I eat, should I not eat anything? There are many rumors about mouth ulcers, but there are no special considerations. As long as you can tolerate the “soul-crushing” pleasure of the spicy hot water flowing over the surface of the ulcer, go ahead and enjoy it. However, as an average person on earth, it is recommended to reduce the consumption of spicy and hot food, otherwise it is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire. In addition, oranges, tomatoes, apples, strawberries and other more acidic fruits can also stimulate the wound, aggravate the pain, ulcers during the period do not eat it. 4, salt water gargle is not considered “salt on the wound”? Doctors also recommend gargling after meals (with water, light salt water, etc.) to maintain oral hygiene. This method is worth practicing even without ulcers, and gargling with light salt water during the occurrence of ulcers is not only not bad for mouth ulcers, but also reduces the time food residue stays in the mouth, which reduces bacterial growth and the possibility of ulcer infection causing aggravation of symptoms will be greatly reduced. What can be done to stop mouth ulcers from growing? As I said before, mouth ulcers are currently considered a “terminal disease” and there is no way to completely prevent them. But please relax, although you can’t make it “never grow back”, you can try to prolong the cycle of recurrence. Keep a good attitude. Mouth ulcers are not a life-threatening disease (except for those with cancerous ulcers), and most of the time, the worse your state of mind is, the more likely it is that ulcers will come back. Develop good habits, such as regular work and rest, regular exercise, balanced diet, regular medical checkups, and pay attention to oral hygiene. In short, taking off the heavy psychological burden can reduce the frequency of mouth ulcers and have a more positive meaning to life itself. Finally, I would like to remind you that after reading this article, please do not take it upon yourself to see a doctor for yourself or your friends and family. If you have an ulcer that does not heal, please seek medical attention as soon as possible, it is not worth it to miss the disease.
