Patients who frequently suffer from oral ulcers can appropriately drink some herbal teas to clear internal heat, such as honeysuckle tea or chrysanthemum tea, which are good choices. It is important to drink plenty of water. If you frequently have oral ulcers, it is suggested that patients visit a hospital to diagnose the causes of the oral ulcers, identifying what leads to them. Because recurrent severe oral ulcers can often be caused by systemic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus or other diseases, which may lead to oral ulcers. Only by identifying the specific underlying causes can effective treatment be achieved. Additionally, oral ulcers may also be related to the patient's diet and lifestyle. Some patients may also experience ulcers due to high work stress, tension, or fatigue, and the long-term use of certain medications can lead to recurrent oral ulcers.

Can frequent oral ulcers turn cancerous?

There are many causes of oral ulcers, they recur easily, and heal slowly. Frequent ulcers make many people worry about the possibility of cancerous changes. If an oral ulcer does not heal over a long period, there indeed is a tendency for it to turn cancerous. Chronic ulcers are also a cause of cancer, so it is essential to pay attention to one's oral health. For instance, oral ulcers must be treated promptly to eliminate the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Treatment methods should combine systemic and local treatments. It is especially important to pay attention to those oral ulcers that do not heal over an extended period, as they are precancerous lesions and are very likely to turn cancerous. A biopsy may be necessary to make a definitive diagnosis to facilitate timely treatment.

Can I eat Dendrobium if I often have oral ulcers?

Mouth ulcers are generally caused by various factors related to the patient, such as local trauma, certain foods, frequent use of certain medications, poor nutrition, changes in hormone levels in the body, and excessive mental stress. Additionally, a deficiency in vitamins or trace elements in the body, or some systemic diseases, can also lead to the occurrence of mouth ulcers. When patients experience mouth ulcers, they can appropriately consume some Dendrobium, as it is beneficial for ulcers and is edible. However, it is recommended that patients with mouth ulcers still undergo local ulcer treatment. They can use specific medications for mouth ulcers, such as mouth ulcer lozenges or xyliodine lozenges, which can be directly applied to the ulcerated surface and can aid significantly in healing. Additionally, it is suggested that patients frequently use Kangfuxin Liquid for oral rinsing, which can effectively control bacterial infection in the mouth. Regarding diet, it is important to eat lightly and diversely, including plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits to adequately supplement nutrients. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)

At this time, patients must pay attention to oral hygiene and nutrition, rinse their mouths promptly after meals to remove food residues and prevent bacterial infections that could irritate the wound. Additionally, patients can not only drink milk but also eat other nutritious foods such as eggs, lean meats, fresh vegetables, and fruits.
