I believe many adults have experienced oral ulcers and know that if there are ulcers in the mouth, it is not only difficult to eat, but also very painful to speak. Therefore, if there is an ulcer, they hope to find a way to make it heal quickly. Therefore, when parents discover that their baby also has an ulcer, they will be very worried and want to know what to do if their baby has an ulcer on their tongue.
What should I do if my baby has ulcers on their tongue
Nutritional deficiency. Lack of certain trace elements in babies, such as zinc, iron, folate, vitamin B12, or malnutrition, can lead to a decline in immune function, making it easy for babies to develop recurrent oral ulcers. So it is recommended to take your baby outdoors for some sun exposure in daily life to ensure sufficient sleep and achieve a balanced diet, which is beneficial for improving the baby's immune system and reducing the occurrence of ulcers.
Fire up. Ulcers on a baby's tongue are usually caused by internal heat in the heart or fire toxins. Pay attention to drinking more water in daily life, and it is advisable to drink water for free. Eat more light foods, such as vegetables and fruits.
Digestive system issues. Parents do not pay attention to their babies' diet, which can lead to overeating and digestive problems. Over time, the digestive system can become disordered, which can easily lead to oral ulcers. It is important to control the amount of food consumed by the baby or eat small, frequent meals.
Viral infection. Babies have relatively low immunity, and if adults kiss babies with oral ulcers, it can cause viral infections in babies.
Other factors. If a baby accidentally bites their tongue while eating, and the bitten area does not heal properly, it can also become a tongue ulcer. This requires guiding the baby to chew carefully and slowly when eating. If the baby is relatively young and the ulcer seriously affects eating and sleep, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a check-up to reduce the baby's pain in a timely manner.
Dietary therapy methods for baby oral ulcers
Honey therapy: First, let the baby rinse their mouth with warm water. Then, parents use a disinfectant cotton swab to apply honey to the baby's mouth ulcer area. Pay attention not to let the baby eat for 15 minutes, and then drink some warm water. This method can be repeated several times a day.
Apple therapy: Parents wash and cut open the apple, then put it in a pot and boil it with water. After waiting for it to warm up, let the baby drink it in their mouth for a while before drinking it off. Taking it continuously for a few days can relieve symptoms.
Through the above content introduction, parents should understand that babies can also develop oral ulcers, and there are many reasons that can cause oral ulcers in babies. Therefore, parents need to take very careful and meticulous care of their babies. Once a baby's ulcer is found, in addition to timely treatment to relieve symptoms, the recovery of the ulcer should also be observed during the treatment period to avoid affecting the baby's body.
