1. Solutions to baby's mouth ulcers

① Drink thinner milk and add a little sugar. 2. Add a little vitamin C, B2, B6, and B12 to the baby's complementary food, and eat more fruits (apples, pears, bananas, etc.) and vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, etc.). On the one hand, it can reduce internal heat, and on the other hand, it can promote intestinal peristalsis and make bowel movements smooth. 3. While drinking more water, try to drink some thinner mung bean rice and add some honey appropriately. 4. Children suffering from oral ulcers are usually caused by either diet (such as milk powder that is too thick and drinking too little water) or heat. Be sure to check whether your child has oral ulcers due to what he eats, or if he wears too many clothes, or has too many quilts, or if the room is too hot, too dry, or lacks water, as these can easily cause him to get oral ulcers. If we find the reason, everything will be solved. 5. Dip a sterilized cotton swab in sesame oil, rub it on the ulcer surface a few times, wipe off the ulcer surface, and then apply a little "oral ulcer powder" (it is better to apply it before going to bed). Just apply it two or three times.

2. Causes of mouth ulcers in babies

Acute pseudomembranous candidal stomatitis, also known as thrush or snow mouth disease, can occur in people of any age, but is most common in infants and young children. The prone sites are cheeks, tongue, soft palate and lips. The mucosa in the affected area is congested, with a large number of scattered soft spots that are like white snow and the size of a needle tip. They soon merge into white patches and continue to expand and spread to the pharynx, tonsils, gums, etc. These white patches can be wiped off with a little force, exposing mucosal erosion and mild bleeding. The children are irritable, cry, have difficulty in breastfeeding, and have a mild fever. In more serious cases, the lesions may spread to the esophagus and bronchi, causing candidal esophagitis or pulmonary candidiasis. A few children may develop chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, which will affect the children's lifelong immune function. The most important thing in the guidance is not to use antibiotics for infants and young children easily. If infants and young children are sick, antibiotics should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
