Dr. Guo Huijie
For oral ulcers caused by dampness and cold, the following dietary adjustments are recommended:
1. **Mild and soft foods**: Such as millet porridge and soft noodles. These foods reduce irritation to the ulcerated areas and aid in recovery.
2. **Vitamin-rich foods**: Fresh fruits such as strawberries, oranges, and kiwifruit, as well as vegetables like carrots and spinach. These are rich in vitamins and trace elements that promote healing of oral ulcers.
3. **Dietary therapy methods**: You may try remedies like molasses paste or watermelon containers. These have effects of clearing heat, relieving summerheat, moistening dryness, and detoxifying, and are suitable for oral ulcers caused by excessive heart fire.
At the same time, maintaining good oral hygiene and adequate water intake are also very important. If you have any concerns, it is recommended to seek timely medical advice for diagnosis and treatment by a qualified physician.
