I believe that oral ulcers are not unfamiliar to everyone. Everyone should have experienced them before. After eating spicy food, getting angry and accidentally biting through the flesh in the mouth can cause oral ulcers. Sometimes, multiple oral ulcers can occur at once, which is really painful. Children can also develop oral ulcers, which are closely related to their diet. So, what should a 3-year-old baby do if they have oral ulcers? Let's take a look with the editor:
What to do if a 3-year-old baby has mouth ulcers
1. Once a baby develops oral ulcers due to internal heat, the first thing to pay attention to is oral hygiene. After each meal, they can rinse their mouth with salt water, saline solution, or medicated mouthwash to prevent infection.
2. Secondly, it is necessary to reduce the stimulation on the ulcer surface and try not to use stimulating seasonings to make complementary foods for babies. The diet should be light; Furthermore, it is important to pay attention to balanced nutrition. Although the diet should be light, the combination of meat and vegetables should be appropriate. Fresh fruits and vegetables, especially foods rich in vitamins, should be used as complementary foods for babies.
3. Another approach is to make complementary foods softer and more delicate, such as making them into foods that resemble a hazy texture, making them more comfortable for babies to eat. Finally, it is recommended to eat smaller meals more frequently to ensure adequate nutrition, but reducing the duration of individual feedings will prevent the baby from feeling too uncomfortable.
How to prevent oral ulcers in babies
1. Prevention is better than cure. Baby oral ulcers are the third most common disease in the baby's mouth, second only to tooth decay and periodontal disease. So it is important to pay attention to the baby's oral hygiene and prevent oral ulcers.
2. There are many reasons for oral ulcers, but it cannot be denied that a considerable number of oral ulcers are related to insufficient intake of certain nutrients. Therefore, a reasonable diet is often safe and effective for oral ulcers. As for the supplementation of vitamins, the principle of "supplementing what is lacking and what is lacking" should be followed, and blind supplementation should be avoided.
3. Supplementing vitamins and regulating diet is also important. Try to give babies a light diet and eat more vegetables and fruits to clear the intestines and help maintain smooth bowel movements; Eat less spicy, rich and stimulating food.
It is best not to use medication for a 3-year-old baby with mouth ulcers, as medication can harm the baby's body. It is recommended to keep the baby's mouth clean and hygienic, rinse their mouth frequently, and give them light food to prevent pain caused by contact with mouth ulcers. Although drinking water can cause pain when suffering from mouth ulcers, it is also important to give the baby plenty of water. Drinking water is beneficial for reducing internal heat and helping the mouth ulcers heal quickly.
