What is the most effective way to treat oral ulcers in pregnant women?

Oral ulcers are a common disease caused by inflammation and other reasons. They are also common diseases for pregnant women. However, most people can take medication to treat oral ulcers, but pregnant women cannot take medication at will, otherwise it will affect their own health and the normal development of the baby. So, what are the better ways to treat oral ulcers in pregnant women?

1. Causes of oral ulcers in pregnant women

During pregnancy, the demand for various nutrients increases, and if they are not supplemented in time, nutrient deficiencies will occur. Oral ulcers are mainly caused by a lack of vitamin B2, such as insufficient or restricted dietary supply, improper storage and processing, etc. If the appetite is poor, the intake will be insufficient, and the requirement is greater than usual, so oral ulcers are more likely to occur.

In addition to nutrient deficiencies, the following reasons can also cause oral ulcers in pregnant women:

1. Long hours, anger, staying up late, excessive fatigue, etc.

2. Smoking, drinking, drinking beverages, eating chili peppers and other highly irritating foods.

3. Prolonged exposure to cold, heat and dehydration.

4. Often eat raw, cold, dry, hard, barbecued and other foods.

5. Eat freshly harvested wheat, corn, sweet potatoes and other grain crops.

6. Related to the digestive system, such as indigestion, gastritis, and constipation.

2. What to do if pregnant women have oral ulcers

1. First of all, you should adjust your self-psychology and eliminate harmful mental factors. People with bad moods should be good at solving their own problems, be tolerant and kind, live in harmony with others, and be optimistic about life.

2. The second is dietary adjustment. Overeating is closely related to mouth ulcers, especially for those with indigestion, who should limit their food intake or eat small meals frequently. Oral ulcers may be caused by vitamin deficiency, so eat more foods rich in vitamins, do not be picky eaters, eat more vegetables and fruits, be sure to drink plenty of water, and take vitamin B2. Pay attention to nutritional balance. Some oral ulcers are caused by getting angry. At this time, you can boil some pear water (duck pear and rock sugar) or drink some bitter melon soup.

3. Pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene. Brush your teeth in the morning and evening, rinse your mouth after meals. If you already have ulcers, use mint lozenges or 1/5000 furazolidone solution to rinse your mouth.

Note: Pregnant women should not take medication for oral ulcers without authorization. Both Ulcer Powder and Yiketie should not be used lightly, and you must follow the doctor's advice when taking the medicine.
