What should I do about frequent mouth ulcers and swollen, painful gums?

The following measures can effectively relieve and prevent gum swelling and pain caused by frequent "heatiness": 1. Dietary adjustment: Avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. Increase intake of fresh vegetables and fruits, such as bitter melon and honeysuckle, which have heat-clearing and detoxifying effects. 2. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, take traditional Chinese medicines that clear heat, remove toxins, reduce internal fire, and nourish yin, such as Niuhuang Jiedu Pian (Bezoar Detoxification Tablets) or Compound Honeysuckle Granules. Alternatively, use a mild saline solution to rinse the mouth for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits. 3. Daily oral care: Maintain good oral hygiene by using proper brushing techniques, having regular dental cleanings, and promptly removing food debris to prevent plaque and tartar buildup, thereby reducing the risk of gingivitis. 4. Lifestyle habits: Maintain a regular sleep schedule and healthy eating patterns, avoid excessive fatigue and emotional fluctuations, stay in a positive mood, and enhance overall immunity. By comprehensively adjusting diet, using appropriate medications, practicing proper daily oral care, and improving lifestyle habits, gum swelling and pain caused by frequent "heatiness" can be effectively relieved and prevented. Patients with concerns should seek timely medical advice.
