Can children with mouth ulcers eat sugar apple (cherimoya)?
Disease description:
Today, I bought sugar apples (cherimoyas), but my daughter has developed relatively severe mouth ulcers over the past few days. I’d like to ask whether children with oral ulcers can eat sugar apples.

Dr. Zhang Liwen
Children with oral ulcers may consume sugar apple (Annona squamosa). Due to its high dietary fiber content, sugar apple promotes intestinal motility and helps eliminate accumulated fecal matter in the intestines. Patients may also alleviate symptoms by consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables, thereby effectively enhancing children’s immune resistance. When necessary, medications such as pyridoxamine, transfer factor, and levamisole may be administered for treatment, yielding favorable therapeutic outcomes.
