Treatment of oral mucosal ulcers

Oral mucosal ulcers can make people feel very painful and unable to swallow food when they occur. They mainly occur on the tongue and the inside of the lips. The reason for oral mucosal ulcers is that the stratum corneum in the mouth is relatively thin. Oral mucosal ulcers can also cause great inconvenience to life, not only affecting the mood, but also having a certain impact on the body.

1. Solve the internal causes

Excessive heat in the stomach will manifest itself in the mouth. In addition to oral ulcers, patients will also experience symptoms such as constipation and bad breath. At this time, it is not enough to just "put out the fire" from the outside. You need to find a way to expel the heat from the body. Therefore, you can take some laxatives and heat-removing medicines. The stomach fire will be discharged with the stool, which will solve the internal cause of oral ulcers, and the ulcers that have not been cured for a long time will naturally improve.

2. Detoxification tablets

The ulcer surface is bright red, large in area, irregular in shape, mostly covered with yellow exudate, and the surrounding mucosa is obviously congested. Patients usually have a good physique, a large appetite, and a good appetite. If they get angry, they will have swollen throat and difficulty defecating. At this time, they should choose drugs such as Niuhuang Qingwei Pills and Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets, or use about 10 grams of senna leaves to soak in water and drink every day.

3. Use laxatives

The ulcer surface is round or oval, tender and red, not large in area, with slight congestion of the surrounding mucosa, and the ulcer recurs. Patients usually also have symptoms such as dry mouth, dry palms and hot soles. Patients with this type of Yin deficiency constitution cannot use drugs that clear heat and promote bowel movements, otherwise the symptoms of Yin deficiency will be aggravated. It is recommended to use drugs that nourish Yin and clear heat, such as Ma Ren Run Chang Wan, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, etc., or use Ophiopogon japonicus and Chrysanthemum to make tea. Of course, it is best to drink plenty of water when taking laxatives. On the one hand, it helps with defecation, and on the other hand, it can clear away heat and reduce internal heat.

4. Apply topical medication

You can also apply some topical medications on the oral ulcers, such as Bingpengsan, Xileisan, etc., and use a combination of internal and external treatment methods to eliminate oral ulcers in one fell swoop.
