Patients with oral ulcers may eat ice cream. In most cases, consuming ice cream does not cause significant pain and may even help alleviate discomfort. Moreover, ice cream is naturally soft and cold, which can soothe ulcer-related pain. Patients are advised to follow a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and brush their teeth regularly.
