When experiencing oral inflammation during pregnancy, the following measures can be taken for relief: 1. Dietary adjustments: Avoid consuming spicy, greasy, or heat-inducing foods, such as chili peppers, barbecued foods, and fried foods. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, such as bitter melon, watermelon, and lemon, to help clear internal heat. 2. Increase fluid intake: Drinking more water helps maintain hydration and alleviate symptoms of dry mouth and inflammation. 3. Emotional management: Try to reduce emotional stress during pregnancy and maintain a cheerful mood, which can help lower the risk of excessive internal heat. 4. Local care: If symptoms such as oral ulcers occur, topical treatments like Guilin Watermelon Frost may be used under the guidance of a physician. If patients have any concerns, it is recommended to seek medical advice promptly.
