Patient's question:
My child doesn't really like to eat vegetables and fruits, and recently they have been experiencing recurrent mouth ulcers, and they don't even want to eat much anymore. What should I do about the constant recurrence of mouth ulcers in my child?Doctor's answer:
Aphthous ulcers, also known as recurrent oral aphthous stomatitis, are a type of recurrent oral mucosal disease. Their characteristics include repeated episodes, severe burning pain, and the potential to cause various complications. Oral ulcers are generally more common during the transition between spring and autumn seasons. People with weakened immunity may experience immune dysfunction due to seasonal changes, failing to adjust their internal environment in time. This creates an opportunity for viruses to invade and cause ulcers. Prevention is generally the primary approach:1. Pay attention to oral hygiene to avoid damaging the oral mucosa and avoid spicy foods and local irritants.
2. Maintain a calm mood and avoid anxiety.
3. Ensure adequate sleep time and avoid excessive fatigue.
4. Pay attention to a regular lifestyle and balanced nutrition, develop a consistent bowel habit, and prevent constipation.
