Children have recurrent oral ulcers

Parents should pay attention to children who have recurrent oral ulcers, as this may be related to the child's poor physical constitution. If the child is malnourished and lacks vitamins, oral ulcers will often occur. When feeding the baby, it is necessary to avoid the baby's picky eating habits. It is very beneficial to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Go to the hospital for examination in time. If there is a deficiency of vitamins or minerals, you should supplement them purposefully.

Children have recurrent oral ulcers

1. Due to viral infection, bacterial infection or low immunity, drinking herbal tea cannot solve the problem of recurrent oral ulcers caused by such reasons. Blindly "reducing heat" may lead to reduced immunity and make oral ulcers more likely to occur;

2. Partiality or picky eating leads to an unbalanced supply of nutrients, or the food is too refined, resulting in insufficient intake of certain vitamins. For example, vitamin B2, folic acid, iron, zinc deficiency or malnutrition can all lead to recurrent oral ulcers;

3. Irregular work and rest schedules and lack of sleep. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, long-term lack of sleep can easily deplete the body's Yin essence, leading to Yin deficiency and excessive fire, which may manifest as oral ulcers on the oral mucosa due to "getting angry";

4. If oral ulcers are accompanied by constipation, bad breath, etc., they are mostly caused by digestive dysfunction;

5. Others: such as genetic factors, etc.

Prevention of recurrent oral ulcers should start from the source

The key to preventing recurrent oral ulcers in babies is to start from the source and try to avoid factors that can induce oral ulcers in babies:

1. Keep the oral cavity clean: Do a good job of oral hygiene, educate children to brush their teeth or rinse their mouths after eating. When oral ulcers occur, you can rinse your mouth with saline in the morning and evening. Avoid eating spicy, irritating, hard, salty, or hot foods to avoid damage to the oral mucosa. For babies who are still breastfeeding, mothers must also keep their breasts clean.

2. The diet should be reasonable: remind your children to change the habit of being picky and partial in eating. Only by properly matching the dietary structure can the nutrition and some trace elements needed by the child's body be maintained. When oral ulcers occur, you can eat more fresh vegetables, fruits or juices rich in vitamins, and remember to drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist. Especially for children who often suffer from constipation, they should pay more attention to drinking more water, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, cleaning the stomach and intestines, and keeping bowel movements smooth, which is also conducive to the recovery of oral ulcers.

3. Maintain a regular schedule and ensure adequate sleep.

4. Increase physical exercise, improve body resistance and maintain a happy mood.

Of course, some systemic diseases also manifest symptoms of oral ulcers, such as herpetic gingivostomatitis, hand, foot and mouth disease, etc. Therefore, oral ulcers cannot be ignored. If the situation worsens, you must seek medical attention in time.
