Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Liwen
A two-and-a-half-year-old child with oral ulcers should maintain a balanced diet and avoid severe picky eating. It is advisable to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing teeth after every meal, using normal saline if preferred. For children whose eating is severely affected, a small amount of lidocaine gel may be applied before meals under a doctor's guidance to help reduce pain and prevent impacts on the child's health.
