Although there is no specific treatment for oral ulcers, parents can use the following methods to relieve their baby's pain.

A. Find the site of the ulcer: When your baby has oral ulcers, you should carefully observe the baby's mouth to find the specific site of the 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 baby should be taken to the hospital for treatment.

B. Dietary analgesia: Do not feed your baby sour, spicy or salty food, otherwise the baby's ulcer will be more painful. Babies should be given liquid food to relieve pain and help the ulcer heal.

In addition, there are some small remedies that can promote the healing of baby ulcers. Parents may wish to try:
