How to treat aphthous ulcers

Canker sores, also known as oral ulcers, can be treated through various methods: 1. Dietary therapy: Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume more foods rich in vitamins to promote healing of the oral mucosa. 2. Exercise and maintaining good lifestyle habits can help eliminate toxins from the body and strengthen overall health. 3. For physical relief, holding ice cubes or cold water in the mouth may temporarily reduce pain caused by canker sores. Medication-wise, topical treatments such as oral ulcer powder or Bingbor powder have effects of clearing heat, reducing swelling, and relieving pain. In severe cases, these may be combined with oral medications like metronidazole tablets or compound vitamin B tablets. 4. Traditional Chinese patent medicines, such as Qingwei Huanglian Pills or Zhizi Jinhuang Pills, can also treat canker sores caused by excessive stomach fire and similar conditions.
