If a child bites their tongue or develops mouth ulcers, symptoms can be alleviated by rinsing the mouth with warm water or applying antiseptic agents such as medical-grade iodophor. In more severe cases, medications like compound benzocaine gel may be used under a physician’s guidance.
In daily life, maintaining a healthy diet is essential—spicy and irritating foods should be avoided.
