How can a child's sore tongue heal quickly?

Patient's question:

My child is one year and five months old with a sore tongue. Eating a little bit makes them cry every day. What can I do? Three days ago, they had a sore mouth, and the small hospital said it would heal quickly.

Doctor's answer:

Your baby's condition is experiencing pain and crying due to oral ulcers. Oral ulcers are often caused by a lack of B vitamins, picky eating, and poor oral hygiene, with symptoms including oral ulcers and pain. It is recommended that you take oral vitamin B2, apply oral ulcer powder externally, or use vitamin C and cimetidine injections to wash the face to promote ulcer healing. Maintain a balanced and diverse diet for your baby, eat small meals frequently, and have frequent bowel movements with foods rich in riboflavin, such as egg yolks, carrots, and salted duck eggs. Brush and rinse the mouth diligently to prevent food residue bacteria from growing. I hope my explanation brings you help!
