Why do mouth ulcers hurt so much?

Oral ulcers are a relatively common oral disease in life. Anyone can get it regardless of age, region or race. People who have had oral ulcers know that it is easy to recur, and the pain makes people unable to eat or sleep at night, which has a great impact on daily life and work. In fact, oral ulcers will generally start to heal themselves in about 5 days. Mild cases do not require medication. But what should I do if they recur and do not get better?

For those who have not recovered and the pain is unbearable, you can try the following methods:

First, clarify whether the onset of oral ulcers is related to immunosuppressants (rapamycin, mycophenolate mofetil). If oral ulcers occur frequently after taking these drugs, it is necessary to decide whether to reduce or stop the medication based on the severity of the oral ulcers. You need to contact your attending physician for the specific implementation of reducing or stopping the medication. Do not make adjustments without authorization to avoid causing abnormal function of the transplanted organ.

In addition, for supplementing vitamins and trace elements, 21 Gold Vitas and Centrum can be used. Most studies have found that supplementing with the above preparations is effective. In addition, simple vitamin B2 and vitamin C are also effective in clinical observations.

Third, local symptomatic treatment, oral ulcer film, oral ulcer powder developed by some dental specialty hospitals, is not only inexpensive, but also very effective in promoting ulcer healing and relieving local pain. Local medication is also safe for transplant patients. In addition, for patients with larger ulcer surfaces, it is recommended to use local medications to facilitate ulcer healing.

Finally, supplementing intestinal probiotics and regulating intestinal microecology. In recent years, more and more scholars have proposed that long-term supplementation of intestinal probiotics and regulation of intestinal microecology are beneficial for treating oral ulcers and preventing the recurrence of oral ulcers. Bifidobacterium, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, etc. can be chosen. Swallow with warm water half an hour after meals, two pills each time.

Is there any way to prevent mouth ulcers from occurring again?

It is indeed impossible to prevent oral ulcers from growing again, but that doesn’t mean that oral ulcers cannot be prevented at all. We can try to prolong the period of recurrence, reduce the degree of pain, and shorten the time to healing.

A very important point: maintain a good attitude and be happy.

Oral ulcers are not a life-threatening disease (except for cancerous ulcers). Most of the time, the worse your mentality is, the more likely you are to get ulcers (this is true!). The correct approach to dealing with oral ulcers is to face life positively, maintain good eating habits, go to bed early and get up early, and exercise regularly (this is also true!).

Although studies have shown that these measures only have a placebo effect. But if you can let go of the heavy psychological burden, life itself is a victory.
