On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, eating a bowl of sweet and soft glutinous Lantern Festival or glutinous rice balls can be regarded as a successful end to the festive and lively Spring Festival.
Since the Spring Festival holiday, there will always be patients who have been burned by eating overheated food (such as glutinous rice balls, Lantern Festival, and hot soup filled with dumplings); Eating foods that are too hard and crispy (e.g., fried cakes, pork ribs, nuts, etc.) can be scratched or eaten too quickly, resulting in a blood blister in the mouth.
What should I do if I have blood blisters? General blood blisters can be absorbed or broken by themselves, and if it does not affect speech or eating, it can be left untreated, and attention should be paid to keeping the wound clean.
If the blood blister is too large to interfere with breathing, the blood blister should be punctured quickly to prevent suffocation. At the same time, after the blood blister bursts, a large area of erosion will be formed, and the pain is obvious, affecting speech and eating, it is recommended to go to the oral mucosa department for further diagnosis and treatment by the doctor.
Note that during the healing period of blood blisters, avoid eating excessive heat and irritating foods, pay attention to oral hygiene, and keep the wound clean.
Oral mucosa doctors remind you to develop good eating habits, avoid eating hot and hard food, chew slowly, and enjoy delicious food.
