The main methods for rapid recovery from severe oral ulcers include the following: 1. Adjust diet: Avoid consuming irritating foods such as lemons, hawthorn, and chili peppers. Choose mild, easily digestible, soft foods like millet porridge, well-cooked noodles, and steamed egg custard to minimize irritation to the ulcerated area. 2. Maintain good oral hygiene: Brush teeth in the morning and evening, rinse mouth after meals, and keep the mouth clean to reduce bacterial growth and promote healing of the ulcer. 3. Topical medications: Under medical guidance, use medications such as Bingbor powder or compound benzocaine gel to relieve discomfort symptoms including pain and swelling in the mouth. 4. Oral medications: Take vitamin C tablets or multivitamin B tablets as prescribed by a doctor to promote repair of the oral mucosa. 5. Microwave therapy: Under medical supervision, microwave therapy can be performed, in which thermal energy is directly applied to the site of the oral ulcer to facilitate local tissue repair and healing.
