Dr. Zhang Liwen
Individuals with oral ulcers may consume dried longan. Patients with oral ulcers should avoid overly hard or spicy, heat-inducing foods; instead, they may consume more longan. For oral ulcers, it is beneficial to eat more spinach, celery, cabbage, apples, pears, watermelon, and persimmons. Patients with oral ulcers should maintain good oral hygiene—rinsing the mouth with normal saline or compound chlorhexidine mouthwash is recommended.
