For babies who are not feeling well, all parents wish they could replace them. Because the state of their illness is truly heartbreaking. Especially when there are ulcers in the mouth that make it difficult to eat, some babies may cry uncontrollably. In this situation, parents can only watch helplessly. So, let's learn about what to do if a baby has ulcers in their gums?
1. After a baby develops an ulcer in their mouth, be careful not to touch it to prevent bacteria from infecting the ulcer area. Generally, if it is just an ordinary ulcer, it will heal on its own in about a week and does not require medication for treatment. Avoid letting the baby eat too salty or stimulating food, as stimulating the ulcer area may cause pain.
2. After the appearance of ulcers, pay attention to letting the baby rinse their mouth promptly after meals or after finishing milk, keep their mouth clean, and avoid bacterial growth, which is not conducive to the recovery of ulcers. If possible, having the baby brush their teeth on time can also help alleviate the rapid recovery of ulcers. The saliva in the baby's mouth has a bactericidal effect, and if it is not severe, medication can be avoided.
3. Babies with ulcers are usually caused by internal heat, so it is important to encourage them to drink water on time and drink more water to detoxify and help the ulcer area recover quickly. Supplementing babies with appropriate vitamins and eating more vegetables and fruits in their diet can help with the recovery of ulcers.
