Smoking to treat mouth ulcers

Many people believe that smoking can cure oral ulcers. In fact, this is a completely wrong perception. Not only can smoking not cure oral ulcers, it may even make the condition of oral ulcers worse. This is mainly because frequent smoking can cause certain damage to oral hygiene. If you want to treat oral ulcers well, it is recommended that you choose the following more effective folk remedies.

1. 95% ethanol

Dip a cotton swab in 95% ethanol, gently press the oral ulcer site, and gently rotate the cotton swab to remove the rotten tissue on the ulcer surface, 2 to 3 times a day, each time for 20 to 30 seconds. Most oral ulcers heal within 2-3 days.

2. Gentamycin

Use a sterilized cotton swab to dip into 2 ml of 40,000 units of gentamicin injection and lightly apply it to the oral ulcer surface. Apply it again after a few minutes. Do this 4 times a day, i.e. after three meals and before going to bed. Apply the liquid medicine after rinsing your mouth. It will usually heal in 2 to 3 days.

3. Liushen Pills

Take 1 Liushen Pill (30 pills), grind it into powder, add 2 ml of cold boiled water to soak it into a thin paste for later use. Clean the patient's mouth before use, then use a thin cotton swab dipped in Liushen Pills liquid to apply to the ulcer surface. It is best to use the medicine 1 to 15 minutes before meals, 3 times a day, and one more time before bedtime. Generally, the pain relief effect can be achieved within 5 minutes of taking the medicine. Small ulcers can heal in 1 or 2 days, while larger ulcers can heal in 5 days.

4. Vitamin C

Crush the vitamin C tablet and sprinkle it on the ulcer or place the whole tablet directly on the affected area, twice a day. Generally, it can be cured after 3-4 times; in mild cases, it can be cured after 1-2 times, but the pain is significant when the medicine is used for the first time.

5. Eggs

Beat the eggs into a bowl and mix into a paste. Put an appropriate amount of mung beans in a ceramic pot and soak them in cold water for more than ten minutes. Put on the fire and boil for about 1.5 minutes (do not cook for too long). At this time, the mung beans are not cooked. Take the mung bean water and mix it with frangipani to drink. Do this once in the morning and evening every day. It is effective in treating oral ulcers.

6. Strong Tea

The Compendium of Materia Medica, a pharmacopoeia of the Ming Dynasty in my country, states: "Tea is bitter and cold and is the best at reducing internal heat... When the internal heat is reduced, the body will be clear." According to research, tea contains tannins, which have an astringent effect. Gargling with strong tea can promote the healing of oral ulcers.
