Got mouth ulcers,
Eat nothing hard.
One careless,
"Screaming" in pain,
That sour!
Seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, Sister Li's emotions are always high. Recurrent mouth ulcers filled her face with sadness. These two days were even more painful, and the food could not be eaten well. There's nothing to beat an adult, except... Mouth ulcers!
The kind of "suffocating pain that ordinary people can't feel" is really soul-destroying, and it makes people grin their teeth when they think about it. When you encounter it on holidays, you basically bid farewell to human fireworks, "Barbie Q" (finished)!
Nothing special
It's super painful
The "terrible pain" mouth ulcer is actually a common oral mucosal disease. Adults have more or less been tricked. Epidemiological studies have shown that 1 in 5 people have had at least one mouth ulcer. The incidence of mouth ulcers is 5% to 66%, more women than men, more likely to occur in young people, and less in people over 40 years old.
If you look closely, you will find that a standard mouth ulcer is characterized by "yellow, red, concave, and painful". The mouth is a hole, round or oval, covered with a yellow pseudofilm, surrounded by a red halo band, and the middle is concave. Nothing special, just super painful!
ask
Can't a small mouth ulcer be cured?
answer
I regret to tell you that the cause and pathogenesis of mouth ulcers have not yet been clarified, and there is really no cure at present.
Since the cure is not good, what can you do except endure?
That's still a bit of a trick drop!
Think well fast
Do 5 things right
01
Endure and endure: mouth ulcers are self-healing diseases that can recur and have periodic attacks, and about 20% of mouth ulcers often recur. How often it recurs every other day varies from person to person, and generally reflects a more regular pattern, followed by menstruation as scheduled or unexpected after exertion. Generally speaking, ulcer attacks endure for 7 to 10 days, and they are good on their own. What is unbearable is that the pain caused by mouth ulcers really makes the rice cook collapse.
02
Pain relief: If you really can't stand it, then give priority to topical medication, the purpose is to reduce inflammation and pain, and prevent infection. Many membranes or sprays for mouth ulcers on the market have this effect. There are also local anesthetics, such as ice chips and borax to "relieve pain with pain", or through numbing pain. Pay attention when taking the drug, if it is ineffective for more than a week, please stop the drug and let the doctor help you solve it.
03
Appropriate amount of vitamin supplementation: There have been many opinions about the cause of recurrent mouth ulcers. Some people have proposed the "triple factor theory" of genetics, environment and immunity, and some people think that it is related to hormonal changes, mental psychology, nutritional deficiencies, and digestive tract diseases. In short, it is likely to be the result of a multi-factor action. Specifically, whether mouth ulcers are related to vitamin deficiency is inconclusive. If you are struggling with whether to supplement vitamins, the best way is to go to the hospital to do a trace element measurement. If the test results confirm that there is a deficiency of a certain vitamin, it is recommended to supplement in moderation.
04
The taboo should still be avoided: the main thing to avoid here is spicy and irritating, too hot food, while avoiding rough, sharp and hard food on the mucous membrane trauma. Avoid using toothpaste that irritates the oral mucosa, and brush your teeth with too much force. In particular, it should be noted that during the ulcer, if the wound is frequently stimulated with the tongue and teeth, it will affect the healing of the ulcer surface, and even aggravate the expansion of the ulcer area, and the effect is equivalent to self-abuse. In other words, don't "do" after the ulcer attack (stay up late, eat spicy, skewer), just take it slowly.
05
Happy is good: A survey of thousands of college students found that psychological factors are closely related to recurrent mouth ulcers and are also related to the severity of the condition. That is to say, emotional stress can induce or aggravate mouth ulcers, and maintaining a comfortable mood can help speed up the self-healing speed of ulcers. Especially in patients with recurrent mouth ulcers with significant symptoms of anxiety or depression, the treatment of ulcers and psychological construction must be carried out simultaneously.
