What are the symptoms of oral ulcers in children?

Children have relatively poor resistance, and they will be plagued by many diseases in life, oral ulcers being one of them. Children like to eat snacks, and many snacks can cause getting angry. When children have oral ulcers, it hurts to eat, so they have no appetite. Parents feel very distressed when seeing this. So what are the symptoms of oral ulcers in children?

Children are the apple of the eye in the family. Looking at the happy smile of the child, I think this is the greatest pride of being a parent. However, when a child has oral ulcers, not only will he lose his smile, but he will also suffer from the pain brought by the oral ulcers all the time. The symptoms and treatment of oral ulcers are what parents want to know.

There are roughly the following situations in which children develop oral ulcers: one is traumatic ulcers, which mostly occur in the buccal mucosa, for example, when children accidentally bite their buccal mucosa or when the buccal mucosa is scratched by a gap in a carious tooth. Traumatic ulcers are large red areas with yellow centers. The other type is eye ulcers, which can occur anywhere on the tongue, gums, and intraocular mucosa. Ocular ulcers are small, milky white sores. It may be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, but it may also be related to psychological factors in the child. For example, children may be overly excited or anxious due to some reasons or factors, which may lead to the occurrence of aphthous ulcers. No matter what kind of oral ulcers, children will feel very painful, even chewing food in the mouth is very painful, and it will not heal in a day or two, and sometimes it will take a week to recover.

Parents should do the following for their children:

1. Observe the child's mouth carefully to find the specific location of the oral ulcer. If the ulcer is on the buccal mucosa, further efforts should be made to find out the cause of the ulcer: for example, check whether there are sharp, rough gaps on the teeth near the affected area. If there are such gaps, the child should be taken to the hospital for treatment.

2. When children have oral ulcers, do not give them sour, spicy or salty foods, otherwise the ulcers will become more painful. Children should be given liquid food to relieve their pain and help the ulcer heal.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of oral ulcers in children. I hope that parents can pay attention to every pediatric disease. When a child becomes ill, they should be carefully cared for and given more love. Only in this way can the disease heal as soon as possible and the child can grow up healthy and happy. I hope everyone will pay attention.
