Symptoms of oral mucositis

Oral mucositis[1] refers to diseases that occur in the oral mucosa and oral soft tissues. There are many types of oral mucosal diseases with complex causes. Many oral mucosal diseases are related to systemic diseases and are precursors to systemic diseases. Therefore, it is very important to master the diagnosis and treatment of oral mucosal diseases.

The oral mucosa is an important part of the oral cavity. Oral mucosal diseases are also common diseases in oral medicine, including leukoplakia, Behcet's disease, herpes simplex plaques, discoid lupus erythematosus, oral candidiasis, oral lichen planus, angular cheilitis, actinic cheilitis, recurrent aphthous ulcers, atrophic glossitis and other diseases.

In adults, the oral mucosa on the inside of the lips, the edges of the tongue, the floor of the mouth, and the cheeks is prone to ulcers. Symptoms of oral mucositis are common and are generally divided into three categories:

(1) Caused by oral mucosal diseases:

For example, summer-onset oral ulcers, herpetic stomatitis, hand, foot and mouth disease, pemphigus and secondary ulcers of pemphigoid, etc., these ulcers generally will not become malignant as long as antibacterial, antiviral, anti-allergic and other treatment measures are adopted in time, or the syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine are adopted. But it should be noted that the symptoms of oral mucositis, which are precancerous lesions, should not be taken lightly. If long-lasting ulcers appear on the basis of lesions such as leukoplakia, erythema, and lichen planus, you should be highly vigilant.

(2) Traumatic ulcers:

This is a type of ulcer that is directly related to local irritants. The residual crown left by a fractured tooth, calculus deposited on the surface of the tooth, uneven or misplaced teeth, the bad habit of biting the cheek, sharp edges formed by tooth wear, and roughly made dentures can all cause traumatic ulcers. For this type of oral mucositis symptom, as long as the causative factors are discovered as early as possible, timely measures can be taken such as removing residual roots and crowns, grinding sharp edges, cleaning tartar, and correcting cheek biting habits. If you take measures such as re-denture your teeth, they will heal quickly. However, if discovered too late and ineffective measures are taken, traumatic oral ulcers may turn into cancer.

(3) "Malignant ulcer" caused by tumor:

This type of ulcer is the result of local invasive development of a malignant tumor, and systemic manifestations of the malignant tumor may appear before the ulcer appears.
