Children's oral ulcers are often caused by a deficiency of trace elements, a deficiency of B vitamins, a decrease in immune function during illness, or insufficient intake of vegetables and fruits, which often leads to oral ulcers. Therefore, the following methods can be adopted:

1. You can grind vitamin B2 into powder and apply it externally to the mouth;

2. You can use Kangfuxin solution for topical use 3-5 times daily, where topical means applying drops to the ulcer;

3. You can spray watermelon frost on the affected area 3-5 times daily;

4. You can use oral ulcer patches.

Therefore, it is important to maintain a balanced and reasonable diet in daily life, and to pay attention to the regulation of children's immune function.

(The use of medication should be under the guidance of a doctor.)

Which department should I go to for oral ulcers?

Oral ulcers are manifestations of other diseases in the oral cavity and are not a singular oral disease. However, oral ulcers are primarily investigated in the department of stomatology, specifically within the oral mucosa department. Common causes of oral ulcers include a weakened immune system, which requires strengthening resistance through methods such as enhanced physical exercise or consuming more vegetables and fruits to increase vitamin intake. Oral ulcers may also be caused by irritation from dental calculus or tooth roots, categorizing them as traumatic ulcers, which necessitate the timely removal of irritating factors. Additionally, oral ulcers may be related to genetic factors or result from viral infections. Therefore, it is important first to identify the underlying cause for further investigation.

Is vitamin C useful for oral ulcers?

When patients have oral ulcers, taking vitamin C can help repair the ulcers to some extent. However, it is generally recommended that patients use local medications in the mouth, which can provide quicker and more noticeable results. Sprays specifically for oral ulcers can be directly applied to the affected areas, or patches designed for oral ulcers can be adhered directly to the lesions, which can effectively help in healing the ulcers. Additionally, patients may appropriately take some oral vitamins that can effectively enhance the body's resistance and aid in the recovery from certain ailments. It is important to maintain correct dietary and lifestyle habits and pay attention to oral hygiene.

What should I do if I have mouth ulcers due to excessive stomach fire?

Mouth ulcers due to excessive stomach heat are primarily caused by improper diet. For this condition, one should consume more foods and fruits that reduce stomach heat, such as apples, pears, watermelon, and grapefruit, as well as vegetables like lettuce and celery to effectively regulate stomach heat and improve symptoms. It is crucial to drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and avoid consuming foods that increase internal heat and irritant foods to prevent exacerbating the condition. One must also ensure adequate rest, avoid excessive fatigue, particularly staying up late, and spend time in the sun to increase calcium absorption.

How to manage oral ulcers in summer

When patients experience oral ulcers, it may be due to hot weather in the summer or poor diet, leading to loss of appetite and lack of certain nutrients. It is recommended that patients adjust their diets accordingly, consuming light foods and staying hydrated. If patients lack appetite, they can eat some fresh vegetables and fruits to adjust their diet. Additionally, it is crucial for patients to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as these can worsen the ulcers and cause symptoms of heatiness. Therefore, during summer when experiencing oral ulcers, local treatment is also necessary. Topical medications for oral ulcers can be used to help heal the ulcerative lesions.
