Don’t use random medications for oral ulcers. First, distinguish the severity of the condition.

Oral ulcer is a common oral mucosal disease in life. Although it is only a minor disease and will generally disappear on its own, it still has a great impact on people and will affect their daily life and work. Therefore, oral ulcer must be treated in time. So what medicine is generally used for oral ulcer?

1. Minor ulcers: mouthwash

If the symptoms are mild, you can use mouthwash to clean them. Mouthwash works together with medicines for treating oral and throat diseases, acting directly on the affected area and is more effective for mild ulcers. While mouthwash can treat oral diseases, it can also remove bad breath caused by indigestion, heavy food, etc.

2. Small ulcers: Yiketie, Bingpengsan

Drugs used to treat oral ulcers mainly have the effects of anti-inflammation, pain relief, and promoting healing, and can effectively alleviate the condition. There are many kinds of drugs that promote wound healing, such as Guilin Watermelon Frost, Bingpeng Powder and other powders; Western medicines mainly include creams and films containing corticosteroids, antibiotics or growth factors, such as Yike Patch. When there are only one or two oral ulcers, you can place the Icopatch on the affected area, which can not only play a medicinal role, but also act as a barrier to the contact between the tongue, teeth and the affected area.

3. Larger ulcers: Watermelon Frost Spray

When oral ulcers are more severe, you can use watermelon frost spray. Avoid eating and drinking within half an hour after using the medicine to exert the full effect of the medicine.

4. Women during menstruation: estrogen

Some women will experience oral ulcers during their menstrual period or before and after their menstrual period, and after self-healing or recovery, they will still appear during the next menstrual period. Oral ulcers during menstruation are mainly caused by increased progesterone levels in the body and decreased estrogen levels.

Therefore, middle-aged and elderly women suffering from oral ulcers should not only supplement estrogen in an appropriate amount, but also pay attention to maintenance and try to maintain estrogen levels. For example, do not lose weight excessively, because in addition to the ovaries, adipose tissue is also a source of estrogen; consume enough protein in your daily diet to maintain normal estrogen secretion in the body.

5. With angular cheilitis and hair loss: vitamins

Studies have shown that whether it is a single or chronic oral ulcer, treatment with B vitamins such as vitamin B2 and B6 is often effective. There are even reports that taking vitamin B complex for one night can basically heal oral ulcers. Some doctors have also observed that vitamin B6 is more effective than vitamin B2 in treating oral ulcers, but the mechanism is unclear.

However, it should be noted that severe oral ulcers or frequent, recurrent ulcers cannot be cured by taking medicine on your own. You must go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time to rule out other systemic diseases to avoid major disasters.
