What medications can be used for mouth ulcers in pregnant women?
Pregnant women with ulcers can use medications such as watermelon frost spray, recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel, or vitamin B2 tablets to help improve their condition.
1. Watermelon Frost Spray
Watermelon frost is typically a white crystalline powder processed from watermelon and mirabilite. It has effects of reducing swelling, relieving pain, clearing heat, and eliminating fire. Pregnant women with ulcers can apply watermelon frost spray locally to alleviate symptoms and promote wound healing, without adverse effects on the fetus.
2. Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor Gel
The main active ingredient in this medication is epidermal growth factor, which accelerates the formation of granulation tissue and the proliferation of epithelial cells, thereby shortening the wound recovery time. Clinically, it is used for ulcers caused by burns or scalds, as well as skin injuries from various causes. Pregnant women with ulcers may use recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel for treatment.
3. Vitamin B2 Tablets
Vitamin B2 tablets can also be ground into powder and evenly applied to the surface of the ulcer, which helps promote healing and provides pain relief.
