Can oral ulcers be contagious?

Mouth ulcers are generally caused by localized mucosal erosion in the patient's mouth, often due to internal heat in the body or a deficiency of certain nutrients. They are not contagious and thus do not spread from one person to another. However, it is advised that patients pay close attention to oral hygiene, rinse their mouth promptly after meals, and brush their teeth regularly in the morning and evening using the correct brushing technique to maintain good oral care. When there is pain or noticeable erosion due to the mouth ulcer, patients can appropriately apply an oral ulcer spray. This can effectively help heal the ulcerated area and alleviate uncomfortable symptoms. Patients should also be sure to drink plenty of water.

What causes purple lips and mouth ulcers?

There is the appearance of cyanosis of the lips and oral ulcers, which might be associated with a deficiency in certain vitamins or trace elements. It is advised to visit a hospital to complete tests related to trace elements and electrolytes, among others. Additionally, the cyanosis of the lips also necessitates the exclusion of potential hypoxia. It is important to observe if the patient experiences chest tightness, coughing, expectoration, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. If necessary, completing a blood gas analysis to confirm whether there is hypoxia or carbon dioxide retention may be required. It’s important to maintain a balanced diet, ensuring good eating and living habits, and avoiding selective or picky eating to prevent changes or exacerbation of the condition. It is also advised to have regular follow-up visits at the hospital.

What should be used for oral care when oral ulcers are severe?

When patients suffer from severe oral ulcers, they can purchase some mouthwash for daily use. Some mouthwashes are specifically designed for rinsing and can sterilize the mouth, eliminate odors, and reduce inflammation. Therefore, it is recommended that patients brush their teeth timely in the morning and evening and use mouthwash appropriately. They should also remove food residues promptly after meals. Additionally, patients must pay attention to their daily lives and avoid consuming overly spicy, hard, or hot foods. It's important to protect the mucous membranes inside the mouth, as these tissues are delicate and cannot withstand prolonged strong irritations. Particular caution should be taken with corrosive foods because they can also cause irritation in the mouth.
