Why do children often have oral ulcers?

Children often suffer from oral ulcers, which make them unable to eat properly, and even affect their talking and sleeping. They cry frequently. Babies tortured by oral ulcers are in great pain, and their parents feel distressed and anxious. Babies’ resistance and immunity are weaker than adults, and any slight stimulation can cause oral bacterial infection. These are among the causes of oral ulcers. So, what should you do if your baby often suffers from oral ulcers?

Methods/Steps

Keep your mouth clean

If your baby has oral ulcers, you should pay attention to keeping the mouth clean. Parents should urge their babies to brush their teeth every morning and evening, especially at night. Parents should not pick up their babies and put them to bed just because they fall asleep while watching cartoons. Parents should encourage their babies to develop the habit of brushing their teeth before going to bed, so as to prevent food residues from remaining in the mouth and giving bacteria a chance to grow.

Eat a balanced diet

If your baby often suffers from oral ulcers, you should have a balanced diet and avoid being picky about food to prevent incomplete absorption of nutrients. Be careful not to feed your baby spicy and irritating foods, as well as foods that can easily cause inflammation, such as various pickled products. The diet should include more foods rich in vitamins, more protein, more fresh vegetables and fruits, and various trace elements.

Ensure your baby gets enough sleep

When your baby often suffers from oral ulcers, make sure you get enough sleep. The baby is in the process of growth and development. Only after the baby has enough rest will he have enough energy to jump around and have good resistance. If the baby does not sleep well, the baby's immunity will decrease, which will make the symptoms of oral ulcers worse. Don’t underestimate sleep.

Some ointment applications

When your baby has oral ulcers, you can apply some ointments to the baby to relieve pain or promote the healing of the ulcer surface. Apply some perfect aloe vera gel on the mouth ulcer, which has a good analgesic and healing effect. You can teach your baby to use it when going to school, so as to relieve your baby's pain.

Drug application

When your baby has oral ulcers, you can apply a medicine, dexamethasone acetate patch, on the ulcer surface before the baby goes to bed, which has a good analgesic effect. It is also recommended that you use it for your baby before bedtime to promote the healing of ulcers.

Enhance your baby's physique

If your baby has oral ulcers, you should pay attention to strengthening the baby's physique. With resistance, the baby's immune system will be strong and the baby will have a good body. Parents can exercise with their babies every day, such as running, slow walking and other exercises. Exercise can not only promote metabolism, but also help the absorption of calcium ions.
