Prevention and care of tongue ulcers in children

In daily life, many children like to eat snacks very much. In addition, children often do not pay attention to their diet in daily life, which causes certain harm to their oral cavity. Children's tongue ulcers make friends feel pain and even make children cry. Then, the following will introduce to you what should we do if the tongue is ulcerated?

Oral ulcers are localized ulcerous lesions of the oral mucosa characterized by periodic recurrence. They can heal on their own and can occur in any part of the oral mucosa, most commonly on the lips, cheeks, and tongue. In severe cases, they can affect the pharyngeal mucosa. As the disease progresses, many patients experience larger ulcer area, increased number, more severe pain, longer healing period, shorter interval period, etc., which affects their eating and speaking.

Although there are many treatments for oral ulcers, they are basically symptomatic treatments, the main purpose of which is to relieve pain or reduce the number of recurrences, but they cannot completely control recurrence, so prevention of this disease is particularly important.

You should pay attention to keeping your mouth clean, gargle with light salt water frequently, quit smoking and drinking, have a regular daily life, and ensure adequate sleep. Keep exercising, eat a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less spicy, greasy and irritating foods, and keep your bowel movements smooth. Women should pay attention to rest before and after menstruation, maintain a happy mood, avoid excessive fatigue, eat a light diet, eat more fruits and fresh vegetables, drink plenty of water, etc., to reduce the chance of oral ulcers.

You need to be reminded that ulcers in the mouth that do not heal for a long time may become cancerous over time due to frequent stimulation from chewing and talking. Especially in those parts that come into contact with teeth, if there are remaining damaged teeth that have not been removed, or the dentures are not properly made, their sharp edges will constantly irritate and scrape the mucosa, causing ulcers. If the irritating factors are not removed, the ulcers will not only not heal, but will become increasingly worse. This type of ulcer that does not heal for a long time may also be a precancerous lesion, which is very likely to become cancerous. If you often suffer from oral ulcers, you need to pay attention to the above problems.

The above introduction is about how we should deal with children's tongue ulcers in daily life. Friends should pay active attention to the children's oral cavity. The beauty is very low. And when children have tongue ulcers, friends should pay attention to their children's life and diet.
