What examinations should be done for oral ulcers?

I believe that oral ulcers are one of the most common problems in our lives. Many times, they are caused by getting angry, so we also need to pay attention to the correct solution, pay attention to oral health and hygiene, eat a light diet and pay attention to physical exercise.

1. Oral ulcers can be diagnosed by doing T lymphocyte subsets, immunoglobulins LgA, LgM, LgG and complement C3, C4, and blood biochemistry tests, and then going to a specialist to find out the cause based on the test report.

2. Oral ulcers are the most common oral mucosal disease. The prevalence rate in the population is generally believed to be more than 10%. It can occur in men, women, young and old, and is most common in middle-aged and young people.

3. Oral ulcers are a type of localized ulcerous lesion of the oral mucosa characterized by periodic recurrence. They can heal on their own and can occur in any part of the oral mucosa, most commonly on the lips, cheeks, and tongue. In severe cases, they can affect the pharyngeal mucosa. As the disease progresses, many patients experience larger ulcer area, increased number, more severe pain, longer healing period, shorter interval period, etc., which affects their eating and speaking.

4. Although there are many treatments for oral ulcers, they are basically symptomatic treatments, and their main purpose is to relieve pain or reduce the number of recurrences, but they cannot completely control recurrences, so prevention of this disease is particularly important.

5. You should pay attention to keeping your oral cavity clean, rinse your mouth with light salt water frequently, quit smoking and drinking, have a regular daily life, and ensure adequate sleep. Keep exercising, eat a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less spicy, greasy and irritating foods, and keep your bowel movements smooth. Women should pay attention to rest before and after menstruation, maintain a happy mood, avoid excessive fatigue, eat a light diet, eat more fruits and fresh vegetables, drink plenty of water, etc., to reduce the chance of oral ulcers.

Do not take oral ulcers lightly. If you have any doubts, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. If necessary, a pathological examination should be performed to make a clear diagnosis and then give appropriate treatment. Do not be careless and delay treatment.
