Disease description:

My daughter has mouth ulcers and hasn't been eating well these past few days. Her speech has also become unclear. I went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for her, but the owner wasn't there. A trainee suggested using Huasu tablets. I'm a bit worried, so I'd like to know—how effective are Huasu tablets in treating oral ulcers?

Huasu tablets, also known as cydiodine lozenges, have shown good efficacy in treating oral ulcers. Their main active ingredient is molecular iodine, which has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties that effectively eliminate viruses and kill pathogens, thereby relieving pain and inflammation caused by oral ulcers. Huasu tablets not only help alleviate discomfort associated with oral ulcers, such as pain and swelling, but also promote the regeneration and proliferation of oral mucosal epithelial cells, accelerating mucosal healing and reducing the recurrence rate of oral ulcers. However, Huasu tablets are not suitable for all patients with oral ulcers, and their effectiveness may vary due to individual differences. Patients should not take these tablets without medical supervision; instead, they should use them under the guidance of a physician. For patients with more severe symptoms of oral ulcers, other more effective treatments are recommended, such as watermelon frost spray or dexamethasone acetate oral patches.
