What are some tips for treating sore corners of children's mouth?

Compared with adults, children are more prone to various problems and symptoms, such as colds and fevers. In some seasons, many children feel their bodies are particularly dry and they get hot. This is because the air humidity is relatively low in this season. The main physical symptoms include: blisters at the corners of the mouth, sore throat, colds and fever, etc. This article mainly introduces the solution to children’s sore mouth caused by getting angry.

B vitamins should be supplemented to prevent

So, what should parents do when their children have "chapped lips"? Parents should pay special attention to protecting their children's lips in summer. When they find that their children's lips are dry, they can apply a little borax glycerin, lip balm or cooking oil to prevent dryness and cracking, and take vitamin B2, 3 times a day, 1-2 tablets each time. If erosion and inflammation have occurred, apply 75% alcohol or 0.2% iodine to the corners of your mouth twice a day. With these simple treatments, most cases of angular cheilitis can be cured quickly. The most important thing is that parents should patiently persuade their children that when there is discomfort in the corners of their mouths, they should avoid scratching with dirty hands or licking the lips with their tongues to prevent infection and erosion.

Pay attention to dietary balance

The most important thing here is to overcome the bad habit of picky eating of the baby and ensure the balance of nutritional intake. For example, eat more foods rich in riboflavin, such as coarse grains, soybeans, soy products, milk, fish, spinach, pumpkin, bananas, pears, etc. In addition, pay attention to the supplement of foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as animal liver, lean meat, eggs, fresh green leafy vegetables, etc., to cultivate the baby's eating habits of not being partial or picky. Adequate water supplementation is indispensable to accelerate the excretion of toxins in the body and enable the body to maintain a good state.

Pay attention to oral hygiene

To cultivate good oral hygiene habits for your baby, let your baby rinse his mouth in time after meals and not eat before going to bed to prevent food residues from remaining in the mouth and breeding bacteria.

Note: This will hurt the child more.

Many parents, after noticing that their children have sores on their lips, keep asking them to drink water.

Comment: Letting children drink a lot of water in a short period of time will indeed have a "water diuretic" effect, but it will also reduce the body's water content and aggravate the dehydration condition.

Some parents apply gentian violet to their children on their own.

Comment: Applying gentian violet will make the corners of the mouth drier, aggravate the cracks, and even cause blisters, ulcers, erosions and whitening around the child's mouth, and even bleeding.

Some parents also apply toothpaste, lotion, balm, etc. to their children.

Comment: These may cause secondary local skin infection.

If you find your child's lips are dry, you can apply a little borax glycerin, lip balm or cooking oil to prevent cracking, and take vitamin B2, 1-2 tablets 3 times a day. If erosion and inflammation have occurred, apply 75% alcohol or 0.2% iodine to the corners of your mouth twice a day.
