How to treat oral mucosal inflammation

Patients with oral mucosal inflammation must maintain a regular diet and consume more fresh fruits. They should avoid eating too quickly or consuming excessively hot food. Brushing teeth with mild salt water is recommended, while foods that cause "heatiness," fried foods, and barbecued foods should be avoided. Treatment primarily involves taking anti-inflammatory and anti-infective medications. For severe cases, systemic therapy may be required as an adjunct. It is recommended that patients use a 1% procaine mouthwash before meals to help relieve burning pain.
