What should I do about a child's oral ulcer?
Children can develop oral ulcers, and how to handle them depends on the severity of the ulcers. Oral ulcers are self-limiting diseases, so even without treatment, the ulcers will heal on their own after some time. However, during this period, there might be some pain, affecting the child’s eating, so some measures should be taken. It is recommended for parents to apply lidocaine gel locally on the surface of the ulcers to alleviate pain. It is also advisable to use additional treatments like applying watermelon frost to promote the healing of the ulcers. Additionally, during this period, it is important for the child to eat a bland diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, as they might exacerbate the pain of the ulcers. Also, avoid giving the child very hard foods to prevent further irritation of the ulcers.
