What causes ulcers in children's mouths?

Children's mouth sores are often caused by malnutrition. Some children are too picky about food and do not like to eat vegetables and fruits. They eat junk food every day, which causes vitamin deficiency in the body. In addition to this factor, there are other reasons for children's mouth corners to be sore. Inflammation is the most common.

Causes of chapped lips:

1. Autumn and winter are windy and rainy, the climate is dry, and the skin is prone to cracking.

In late autumn and early winter, the weather is relatively dry, and people's lips and the skin around them are prone to cracking.

2. The diet is too refined and picky.

Some children have bad habits of partiality and picky eating, eat less vegetables and fruits, lack vitamin C, B2 and zinc, which makes them more likely to have dry and chapped corners of the mouth.

3. Bad living habits, often licking the corners of the mouth.

Some babies have a habitual action when they feel their lips are dry, that is, they like to lick their lips with their tongue. When the climate is dry, the saliva evaporates quickly, and the more you lick your lips, the drier they become, causing them to crack and become inflamed.

One or both sides of the child's mouth corners first appear wet and white, with some small blisters, which gradually turn into erosion and bleeding scabs. This is erosion at the baby's mouth corners, which is commonly known as rotten mouth corners.

Many people think that the sore corners of the baby's mouth are caused by getting too hot, so they give them a lot of things that reduce heat. But in fact, the sore corners of a baby's mouth are not necessarily caused by getting too hot, but may also be due to a lack of certain trace elements.

4. Lack of vitamin B: People usually eat less animal offal, eggs, milk, fresh vegetables, beans, coarse rice and noodles. Lack of vitamin B2 in the human body can easily cause sores at the corners of the mouth.

5. Zinc deficiency: Studies have shown that about 10.67% of children with zinc deficiency have erosions or cracks at the corners of their mouths.

6. Infectious angular cheilitis: It is often caused by fungal infection and vitamin B2 deficiency. Children who abuse antibiotics for a long time or suffer from gastrointestinal diseases are also prone to vitamin B2 deficiency and angular cheilitis.

7. Oral herpes: It is mostly caused by the herpes virus. The child will initially feel itchy skin at the corners of the mouth, which will then turn red and feel a burning sensation. Multiple small blisters may occur, which will form scabs after the blisters break and heal naturally after the scabs fall off.
