Severe oral ulcers can be treated with medication. For extensive oral ulcers, taking watermelon frost (Xigua Shuang) can help clear heat, reduce fire toxicity, alleviate swelling, and relieve pain. For recurrent oral ulcers, taking honey orally can help clear heat, remove toxins, and reduce inflammation. Alternatively, you can rinse your mouth with a 20% honey solution or apply honey directly to the ulcer using a cotton swab.
