Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day I feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. How should I handle a mouth ulcer on my five-year-old child's lip?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be chronic cheilitis. The cause of chronic cheilitis is not entirely clear, and it may be related to cold and dry seasons, smoking and alcohol consumption, excessively hot food, licking lips, biting lips, and other bad habits. Sometimes it may also be related to psychological factors, such as restlessness, anxiety, or anger.You can use a decoction of Sophora flavescens to apply externally for treatment, which may be effective. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to developing pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, do not panic. It is important to take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
