"What Should I Do if My Upper Gum Is Broken and Painful? What Could Be the Cause?"
Painful rupture of the upper gum can be related to factors such as mouth ulcers, burns, traumatic herpetic stomatitis, etc. Therefore, the treatment for painful rupture of the upper gum should be targeted, and generally, medications like Lidocaine, Metronidazole, Amoxicillin, etc., can be taken as prescribed by a doctor. Additionally, drugs that promote mucosal repair, such as Kangfuxin Liquid and ulcer patches, can be used. Detailed analyses are as follows:
1. Mouth Ulcers
May be related to a lack of vitamins, staying up late, excessive stress, etc., leading to rupture and pain in the upper gum. Patients are advised to take Vitamin B2, Vitamin C, etc., as prescribed by a doctor and may also apply Watermelon Frost or Bingpengsan.
2. Burns
Burns to the upper gum can cause rupture and pain. Applying relevant preparations of Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor (RHEGF) as prescribed can promote healing and alleviate pain. For severe cases, Metronidazole and Amoxicillin may be prescribed.
3. Trauma
Caused by consuming sharp foods like fish bones or other bones. If the rupture is not severe, it can heal on its own. For more severe cases, RHEGF-related preparations can be applied as prescribed.
4. Herpetic Stomatitis
Caused by Herpes Simplex Virus, resulting in rupture and pain in the upper gum. Medications like Aciclovir and Ganciclovir can be taken as prescribed.
Furthermore, it is crucial to avoid spicy, irritating, and excessively hot foods. A bland diet rich in fruits and vegetables is recommended to supplement complex vitamins and facilitate the repair of the upper gum.
