Round or oval ulcers, white dots the size of needle tips.
People who have had mouth ulcers have a deep understanding,
It is easy to recur seizures, and it comes without warning.
Once the ulcer is stuck in the mouth, whether the tip of the tongue accidentally touches it,
Or eat sour, sweet, salty, spicy and other foods can stimulate it,
It causes fiery pain, even drinking water and breathing.
Got mouth ulcers,
Many people will first think of "Is it on fire?" ”
But mouth ulcers don't necessarily mean it's on fire.
Eat lightly, often eat vegetables and fruits, it will still get.
That is to say, eating more fruit to supplement vitamin C is useless~
Mouth ulcers, why exactly?
01 The cause of mouth ulcers is not due to a lack of vitamins
Experts said that the current cause of mouth ulcers is not fully clear, fire can induce mouth ulcers, but mouth ulcers are not necessarily on fire. Even if the diet is light, people who often eat vegetables and fruits will still get mouth ulcers.
Brushing casually, food debris accumulation, poor oral hygiene, endocrine disorders in menopausal women, young people's mental stress and excessive fatigue, spicy and greasy diet, and improper brushing or dentures may poke the oral mucosa and form mouth ulcers.
02 Eat fruit to supplement vitamin C, why not reliable
Currently, there is no definitive evidence that vitamin C supplementation can treat and prevent mouth ulcers, and that blind vitamin C supplementation may make your mouth sores worse.
For example, the legendary method of attaching vitamin C to ulcers is very wrong. Because vitamin C is acidic, it will form an irritation on the ulcer surface, making your ulcer redder and swollen, and the pain will increase.
Wouldn't it be more natural to eat vitamin C and eat fruit supplements without them? Then you're wrong again. Apples, strawberries, oranges, tomatoes, these fruits may cause mouth ulcers due to allergies.
The fruit acid also further irritates the ulcer surface, causing the condition to worsen. If your mouth ulcers are always bad, stay away from these fruits.

However, if the pain is really severe, or you can consider the following methods.
1. If it hurts badly, try these medicines
Montmorillonite dispersion: Montmorillonite dispersion was originally used to treat diarrhea, not only to repair the intestinal mucosa, but also to the oral mucosa. It can isolate the ulcer surface, reduce the influence of external stimuli on the ulcer, help reduce pain, and promote ulcer healing.
Medical silver nitrate 10% solution: can burn the wound, so that the protein on the ulcer surface precipitates and forms a film to protect the ulcer surface, reduce pain, and accelerate healing.

If blisters grow in the mouth and erode, suspect that it is not the cause of pemphigus: 50% of pemphigus vulgaris usually begins in the mouth.
If there is a white spot in the mouth that cannot be scraped off, it may be oral lichen planus or oral leukoplakia.
The former will have symptoms such as pain and rough discomfort, and may also have corresponding symptoms on the skin and nails; the latter usually has no other feeling except roughness and stiffness, but the cancer may be as high as 10-30%.
