What causes astringent oral mucosa?

Any living thing must absorb nutrients if it wants to survive. Humans absorb nutrients mainly through chewing with the oral organs and digestion and absorption through the stomach. Oral hygiene cleaning is something that humans must do every day. Brush your teeth once in the morning and once in the evening to clean up any remaining food debris. If the oral cavity is not cleaned properly, it may cause oral diseases, such as astringency of the oral mucosa. What other oral mucosal diseases are there? What are the main symptoms?

1. Oral mucosal disease refers to a type of oral disease. Oral mucosal diseases mainly include recurrent oral ulcers, Behcet's disease, lichen planus and chronic pharyngitis. Although the clinical manifestations of oral mucosal diseases vary, modern medicine believes that the cause of the disease is endocrine dysfunction and autoimmune dysfunction; traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by emotional frustration that damages the heart and spleen, or yin deficiency and excessive fire, heat and toxic burning, or internal dampness and heat that attack the mouth.

Astringent feeling in the mouth is commonly seen in diseases such as stomatitis, oral ulcers, and thrush. There is often an obvious foreign body sensation in the mouth, accompanied by oral pain and increased secretions. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach.

First, cold sores. First of all, this is a contagious oral disease, which is mainly manifested by the formation of blisters similar to small blisters on the patient's lips. These blisters must not be punctured, otherwise it will aggravate the condition. The main transmission route of cold blisters is when two people use the same tableware or have close contact. If you have cold blisters, you can use a cotton swab and medicine to treat it, and try to avoid causing damage to the blisters.

Second, ulcers. After the disease occurs, ulcers will appear and can grow almost anywhere in the mouth. The main manifestation is similar to blisters, and the color is generally white, raised, and painful. In general, the body will heal itself if the ulcer occurs, but if the attack lasts for a long time, you should be careful.

Third, hoarseness. Oral mucosal lesions can also cause the patient's voice to become hoarse, and the mouth will often feel very dry and have a bitter taste, which cannot be relieved by drinking more water.

Oral mucosal lesions mainly have the above three symptoms. The human body can repair itself for milder symptoms. As a reminder, if the patient feels that his symptoms last for more than two weeks, or recur within a certain period of time, he should go to the hospital for examination in time.
