Canker sores are a common lesion of the oral mucosa, and although the symptoms are mild, the reversal can seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Many people ignore some potential contraindications in the process, resulting in repeated illnesses. Here are a few contraindications you may not be aware of:
1. Over-dependence on drugs.
In the early stages of the disease, patients with canker sores are often in a hurry and over-dependent on drugs. In fact, canker sores are self-limiting and usually heal naturally in 7-14 days. Excessive drug use is not only easy to develop drug resistance, but also may cause a burden on organs such as the liver and kidneys. During the period of stabilization, patients should reduce their medication use, follow their doctor's advice, and use their medications rationally.
2. Lack of attention to oral hygiene.
In patients with canker sores, during an attack, the oral mucosa is damaged and the resistance is reduced. At this time, if oral hygiene is not maintained, it is easy to lead to aggravation of the disease. Patients should strengthen oral hygiene to avoid food residue retention and reduce bacterial growth. Use a mild mouthwash and toothpaste, and avoid harsh cleaning products.
3. Poor diet.
Dietary modification is particularly important during an attack in patients with mouth ulcers. Spicy and irritating foods such as chili, ginger, garlic, etc. are contraindicated to avoid aggravating the condition. At the same time, avoid too hard and hot food to avoid damaging the oral mucosa. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to maintain vitamin intake and improve the body's immunity.
Fourth, ignoring psychological factors.
Canker sores are closely related to psychological factors. Long-term life stress, anxiety, depression and other negative emotions may lead to a decrease in the body's immunity and induce mouth ulcers. Patients should pay attention to their mental health, adjust their pace of life, participate in social activities, and release stress. If necessary, seek help from a psychologist.
5. Irregular work and rest.
Patients with mouth ulcers should maintain a regular schedule and avoid staying up late and overwork. Getting enough sleep helps the body recover and improves immunity. At the same time, regular exercise can also help with the condition**.
In short, patients with mouth ulcers should pay attention to the above contraindications and actively cooperate with doctors in the process. In daily life, maintain good Xi habits, enhance the body's resistance, and reduce the risk of ulcers**. When the condition is reversed, do not panic, follow the doctor's instructions, gradually adjust your lifestyle, and strive for an early **.
