Which department should I go to for tongue ulcer

Some people do not take any treatment measures after they develop tongue ulcers, which will only make the situation worse. Therefore, when we suffer from tongue ulcers, we should go directly to the hospital for detailed treatment, so that our condition will improve. However, many people do not know which department to go to for tongue ulcers, so misdiagnosis always occurs, and there is no way to really prescribe the right medicine.

Oral ulcer is a typical "appearance on the outside, manifestation on the inside" lesion, which means that although the lesion of oral ulcer is local, its formation is not caused by diseases of the mouth or tongue, but is usually an external manifestation of the body's inflammation.

Fire can be either real or false. It is often a real symptom at first, but will turn into a false symptom if it recurs. The manifestations of real fire are a large number of ulcers, bright red ulcer surfaces, a large range, irregular shapes, and ulcer surfaces covered with yellow exudates. The surrounding mucosa is obviously congested. It is more common in adolescents and is often accompanied by burning pain in the mouth, dry throat, thirst, red urine, and dry stools. The pathogenesis is excessive stomach fire. When stomach fire rises, oral ulcers will occur, accompanied by bad breath; when stomach fire presses downward, intestinal qi will be blocked, causing constipation.

An important concept in TCM treatment is “dredging” rather than “forcefully extinguishing” with drugs. Therefore, in treatment, in addition to local treatment of oral ulcers, you should also pay attention to maintaining smooth bowel movements. When the bowel movement is smooth, the stomach fire will be discharged through the stool, which can fundamentally treat oral ulcers. Moreover, smooth bowel movements often indicate normal gastrointestinal function and can help prevent the occurrence of oral ulcers. The currently popular detoxification therapy is to excrete toxins from the body by promoting smooth bowel movements, which is very effective in treating oral ulcers.

In terms of specific medication, grind several tablets of vitamin E into fine powder and apply it on the ulcer surface. Take Niuhuang Qingwei Pills and other medicines internally 4 times a day to keep the stool soft. At the same time, pay attention to a light diet and eat more foods rich in fiber.

In fact, for diseases like tongue ulcers, you still need to see an ENT doctor, because after all, these are diseases that occur in the oral cavity, and during the treatment period you also need to ensure that your bowel movements are unobstructed. Only in this way can there be no accumulation of toxins in your body, and all toxins in your body can be excreted, which can play a good role in auxiliary treatment.
