When suffering from oral ulcers, to promote rapid recovery, it is advisable to choose light and soft foods such as millet porridge, soft noodles, and steamed egg custard, which can reduce irritation to the ulcerated area. At the same time, consume foods rich in vitamins, such as strawberries, oranges, kiwifruit, carrots, and spinach, as vitamins support skin and mucous membrane metabolism and help heal the ulcer. In addition to food, taking vitamin supplements appropriately—such as vitamin C granules or compound vitamin B tablets—can help replenish essential nutrients. If the oral ulcer is related to infection, medications may be taken under a doctor's guidance to accelerate healing. Doctors may recommend using healing-promoting agents such as watermelon frost or oral ulcer powder.
