Doctor's answer:
Canker sores are relatively easy to treat. It can be used by grinding nystatin into powder and mixing it with fish oil drops, then applying it to the affected area. Use the medication every 4 hours, and the therapeutic effect is significant. Canker sores are also known as thrush, which is an infection caused by Candida albicans. It commonly occurs in malnourished and weak infants, and can lead to refusal to eat and crying. Take 10 grams of Zanthoxylum fruit, grind it into powder, mix it with vinegar to form a paste, and apply it to the bilateral Yongquan acupoints of the affected child. Apply a topical patch of "Shangshi Huoxue Gao" externally. Remove after 24 hours. Generally, one application is effective.
