Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
When a child develops four or five mouth ulcers, the following comprehensive treatment measures can be taken to promote healing and relieve discomfort:
1. **Medication**: Under a doctor's guidance, use medications specifically for mouth ulcers, such as recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel or oral ulcer powder, which can help accelerate the healing of ulcers. Additionally, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 supplements may be taken to replenish vitamins and promote the repair of oral mucosa.
2. **Physical Therapy**: If the ulcers are severe, physical treatments such as laser therapy or microwave therapy may be considered. These treatments can reduce local exudation and promote ulcer healing.
3. **Daily Management**: During treatment, the child should practice good self-care, maintaining oral hygiene by rinsing the mouth promptly with warm water after meals to avoid food residue affecting ulcer recovery.
If symptoms are severe, it is recommended to seek medical treatment.
