Rinse your mouth with it or swallow it—this not only refreshes your oral cavity and leaves a pleasant fragrance on your lips and teeth, but also helps alleviate gum redness and swelling. Additionally, it promotes gastrointestinal motility and facilitates the movement of food through the digestive tract, thereby aiding digestion. Medications may also be used to treat the condition. In daily life, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume more fruits and vegetables.
