What should I do if a child has white spots from mouth ulcers?
Disease description:
Recently, I noticed that my child has developed an ulcer, and there are small white spots around it. What could be causing this, and is it serious? What should I do about white spots associated with a child's oral ulcer?
When a child develops oral ulcers accompanied by white spots:
1. Identify the cause: Observe whether the child has other symptoms such as fever or cough to help accurately determine the underlying cause.
2. Topical treatment: For oral ulcers, medications such as Bingbor Powder or Oral Ulcer Powder can be applied directly to the ulcerated area to promote healing. For oral thrush (candidiasis), clean the mouth with sodium bicarbonate solution to inhibit fungal growth.
3. Oral medication: Under a doctor's guidance, select appropriate oral medications based on the cause—for example, nystatin tablets for antifungal treatment.
4. Dietary adjustments: Ensure the child maintains a balanced diet, avoids irritating foods, and consumes plenty of vitamin-rich foods to support healing of oral ulcers.
5. Seek medical attention promptly: If the child's symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical care immediately to prevent delayed treatment.
