Dr. Zhang Liwen
Oral pain caused by betel nut consumption requires immediate cessation of betel nut use. Under a physician’s guidance, patients should take multivitamins to promote mucosal healing. Most cases of oral pain associated with betel nut use result from oral submucous fibrosis. Alongside discontinuing betel nut, patients should maintain a bland diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods to allow gradual recovery of the oral mucosa. If oral pain is pronounced, patients may—under medical supervision—use Kangfuxin Oral Solution, which effectively relieves pain.
