Treatment Recommendations for Childhood Oral Ulcers
Disease description:
My child repeatedly develops mouth ulcers, and when the ulcers occur, the pain prevents the child from eating normally. What are the recommended treatments for mouth ulcers in children?
For the treatment of oral ulcers in children, the following comprehensive measures are recommended:
1. Dietary Management: Encourage children to consume foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin B, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, to promote the healing of oral mucosa. Maintain a bland diet and avoid spicy, irritating, greasy, overly hot, or cold foods to minimize irritation to the oral mucosa.
2. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, topical analgesics such as lidocaine gel or oral ulcer powder can be used to relieve pain, and stomatitis spray may be used for treatment. If the oral ulcer is associated with infection, antiviral agents or antibiotics may be selected based on the underlying cause.
3. Other Therapies: For more severe oral ulcers, physical therapies such as laser or microwave irradiation may be considered to promote ulcer healing. Maintaining oral hygiene and using normal saline for mouth rinses can help prevent infection.
If you have any concerns, please consult a healthcare professional.
