Can oral inflammation spray be swallowed?

Generally, whether oral ulcer spray can be swallowed depends on the amount ingested. Accidentally swallowing small amounts along with saliva is not a major concern, but deliberately swallowing large quantities is not advisable. The detailed explanation is as follows:

When used correctly according to the instructions, the medication primarily adheres to the affected areas of the oral mucosa to exert its therapeutic effect. During this process, a very small amount may inevitably be swallowed with saliva. These sprays are formulated with consideration for incidental minor ingestion, and trace amounts entering the body typically do not cause adverse effects, requiring no special intervention.

Deliberately swallowing large amounts of oral ulcer spray, however, is unsafe. The dosage of the spray is designed specifically for localized oral application. Ingesting large quantities into the digestive tract may increase gastrointestinal burden, causing discomfort such as nausea and bloating, and could lead to excessive systemic absorption of the drug components, violating principles of medication safety.

When using oral ulcer spray, strictly follow the dosage instructions. After spraying, try to hold the medication in the mouth for a short while before swallowing saliva normally, to prolong the drug's local effect. Additionally, maintain good oral hygiene, rinse your mouth with warm water after meals, and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods to promote faster recovery from oral inflammation.
