Dr. Guo Huijie
Dietary recommendations for oral ulcers should focus on bland, soft, and vitamin-rich foods to promote healing of the ulcerated areas. 1. It is recommended to consume foods such as millet porridge, soft noodles, and steamed egg custard, as these items are soft in texture and can reduce irritation to the ulcerated areas. 2. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, such as strawberries, oranges, and kiwifruits, as these vitamins aid in the metabolism of skin and mucous membranes and promote ulcer healing. 3. Avoid consuming spicy, strongly irritating, hard, or coarse foods, such as chili peppers, pepper, garlic, and fish bones, to prevent aggravating damage to the oral mucosa. 4. Maintain oral hygiene by regularly rinsing the mouth with baking soda and saline solution, which helps reduce the risk of infection.
