Children with oral ulcers can generally use Bingbor Powder. Bingbor Powder is a traditional Chinese medicine that clears heat, detoxifies, reduces swelling, and relieves pain. It is used to treat conditions such as sore throat, swollen gums, and oral or tongue ulcers. Its main ingredients include borneol, borax, cinnabar, and玄明粉 (Xuanming powder). It is indicated for oral ulcers and sore throats. People may occasionally suffer from minor ailments like oral ulcers, but medication should not be taken indiscriminately, as there are specific requirements for its use. For children, iodine glycerin or cydiodine tablets can be applied to the ulcerated areas.
