What to do if oral mucosa is damaged, 3 things to pay attention to

Many of our friends have suffered from oral ulcers in life. Oral ulcers are caused by damage to the oral mucosa. It is a very painful thing. You can’t eat well and you dare not drink water. Especially for those who have damaged oral mucosa, you must pay more attention to the use of medication. If it is not used properly, it will only make the symptoms worse. So what should we do if the oral mucosa is damaged?

Damage to the oral mucosa is related to the physiological defect of decreased oral immunity as people age. Due to the decrease in growth hormone secretion in adults, the oral cavity's ability to absorb vitamins is actually lower than that of children during their growth period. However, Chinese medicine experts believe that oral mucosal diseases are mostly caused by internal injuries caused by the seven emotions, weak constitution, and external evils, which lead to stagnant heat and virtual fire. When the oral mucosa is damaged, it first covers the other soft tissues of the mouth like the "lining" of clothes (the skin is like the "face" of clothes), so that the muscles, blood vessels, nerves, lymph and even bones under the oral mucosa are protected.

Therefore, a healthy oral mucosa should be intact, that is, continuous and uninterrupted. Oral mucosa is damaged. Secondly, the large and small salivary glands in the mouth open into the oral mucosa. The saliva they secrete moisturizes the mouth, allowing food to be moistened and initially digested in the mouth. At the same time, the flushing of saliva also has a self-cleaning effect on the teeth, so a healthy oral mucosa should be moist. Oral mucosa is at the "front line" of contact with the outside world, and its outermost layer of keratinized cells will naturally continue to fall off and renew. Fortunately, the basal cells of the oral mucosa have the function of continuous differentiation, which can replenish the "loss", but this replenishment is moderate and will not cause excessive proliferation. So a healthy oral mucosa should be flat and smooth.

How should you pay attention to your diet if your oral mucosa is damaged?

1. Once the oral mucosa is damaged, prepare a few bags of pure milk and take them several times when the pain occurs. Hold them in your mouth and do not swallow them. In this way, you will feel that the pain is significantly reduced. After you finish a bag of milk, you will feel that your mouth will no longer hurt. Although it can only relieve pain, this method is very practical.

2. Natural vitamin E capsules have the effect of repairing wounds. When the oral mucosa is severely damaged, take two vitamin E capsules and hold them in the mouth, or directly squeeze the vitamin E capsules and apply them on the damaged mucosa. Use vitamin E once in the morning and once in the evening, especially before going to bed at night. The effect will be better. You can also increase the dosage and frequency of use according to the actual condition and the size of the damaged wound.

3. There are many kinds of Andrographis capsules. You should buy the ones that can clear away heat, detoxify, and reduce swelling. They are used for sores in the mouth and tongue, and the ones that are painful and astringent due to heat.

It is best to use pure Andrographis paniculata capsules, which will be more effective. I use the one below and it works very well.

At the same time, you should also take some anti-inflammatory drugs orally, such as amoxicillin or cefaclor dispersible tablets, you can choose according to your own taste. After a few days, you will find that the pain is reduced and the damaged oral mucosa is slowly recovering.
