Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is 4 years old now. Currently, there is a mouth ulcer in my child's mouth. I am worried that my child is in severe pain, so I took him to the hospital. The doctor gave my child a mask. What does this mean? Is the mouth ulcer in my child's mouth caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Most mouth ulcers are likely caused by frequently eating snacks or foods that irritate the stomach in recent days. It's also possible that it could be hand, foot, and mouth disease. Specific tests should be conducted at the hospital. Currently, you can take some anti-inflammatory medication appropriately, but specific medication should follow medical advice. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with salt water, and pay attention to dietary restrictions.
