During early pregnancy, if mild oral ulcers occur, increasing fluid intake appropriately to maintain oral moisture is recommended. Diet should be light and easily digestible—options include rice porridge, vegetable soup, and noodles. Avoid greasy or spicy foods, as these may exacerbate ulcer discomfort. If symptoms persist or do not improve significantly, consult a physician for guidance on using topical medications such as oral ulcer powder or Watermelon Frost to promote ulcer healing.
