Mouth ulcers may be the first small white dots that torment people.
Not only is the part of each visit tricky, but also loves to "buy one get one free", so that people can't eat fragrantly, and it is not good to talk.
Why do mouth ulcers always "come back"? How can it not be so painful?
Next, ZhiMei came to speak.
Mouth ulcers that always "come back", the scientific name is recurrent mouth ulcers. It prefers these 7 kinds of people:
1
She loves hard, crunchy and hot foods
Crayfish, beef jerky, potato chips, sugar cane, and hot pot are refreshing to eat, but they can easily scratch or burn the oral mucosa, cause traumatic mouth ulcers, or cause mouth ulcers to recur.
Prevention Tips:
It's not completely unpalatable, after all, it's really delicious!
Remind yourself to eat slower when eating, avoid damaging the mucous membrane as much as possible, and put hot food in the mouth and then eat it.

6
Family members love to have mouth sores
Mouth ulcers may be related to heredity, and some families are more likely to develop mouth ulcers [2].
7
Often not enough sleep, stress
If you are stressed in your academic work, you are always anxious, tired, sleep-deprived, and prone to mouth ulcers [3].
Therefore, when the pressure is high, don't be your own, vent out, and talk to others, even if you leave a message to your sister.
Finally, diseases, nutritional factors, allergies, and some people use toothpaste containing sodium lauryl sulfate (sodium lauryl sulfate) is also easy to cause mouth ulcers, you can pay attention to it.

First of all, let everyone avoid a thunder.
Applying salt, honey, toothpaste to the wound, using needles to break the ulcer, and gargling with white wine, these methods do not work, but will irritate the mucous membrane and hurt more severely.
Arguably, the best approach is:
Don't worry about it.
It really hurts so much, you can try these:
Pain relief handles – topical medication
The most convenient are ulcer patches, such as hydrocortisone adhesive tablets, which usually contain small amounts of anesthetics and anti-inflammatory drugs, which can reduce pain and promote ulcer healing [4], preferably bedtime patches.
There are also some drugs that contain hormones and analgesic ingredients, such as triamcinol acetonide oral ointment and lidocaine gel.
Recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel and recombinant bovine alkaline fibroblast growth factor gel can promote ulcer healing [4].
Among those that can be bought directly in pharmacies are ulcer patches and triamcinol acetonide oral ointment.
Even lightly salted water with mouthwash can be more comfortable
Some mouthwashes can also relieve pain, prevent infection and promote the healing of ulcers.
For example, chlorhexidine contains gargling, etc., 4-5 times a day, about 10ml each time, and spits it out after 3-5 minutes in the mouth.
However, this mouthwash may temporarily color the teeth, and you can rinse your mouth several times with water.
Be sure to avoid mint-flavored mouthwashes that may irritate the ulcerated surface and cause pain.
If you really don't know which to buy, a cup of warm water plus half a spoonful of salt, repeating multiple gargles is also useful!
Don't be particularly taboo
Except for those that are particularly sour (tomatoes, oranges), spicy, hard, and hot, which are easily added to the fire, you can eat everything else.
Finally, if the mouth ulcers grow repeatedly, don't put up with it!
Because it may be caused by other diseases, it is more reassuring to go to the hospital for investigation.
Especially a few of them, or sizes such as soybeans, bleeding, more than 3 weeks is not good, hang up a number, when it is to buy rest assured!
I wish you all a good meal and drink in the next year, and do not grow mouth ulcers!
