Patient's question:
My 19-month-old son suddenly had one corner of his mouth droop severely when he cried or laughed yesterday. The doctor at Jiading Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital confirmed it was facial paralysis and said he needed to be treated at the city center children's hospital. I'm so scaredDoctor's answer:
Oral ulcers should be addressed by fundamentally enhancing physical fitness and boosting immunity. Maintain oral and skin hygiene, and persist in regular brushing, gargling, and bathing. Pay attention to smooth bowel movements and adequate sleep. Focus on balanced nutrition, consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables to cleanse the digestive system, and avoid chewing gum, chocolate, alcohol, coffee, hot foods, spicy grilled foods, fried foods, and other items that may trigger or worsen oral ulcers. Generally, strong tea can have a certain effect in alleviating oral ulcers.
