Is It Normal to Have a Sore or Ulcer in the Mouth?
Having oral ulcers after a mouth injury belongs to traumatic ulceration, which is a normal situation. However, it cannot be ruled out that it may also be related to abnormal factors such as spicy diet and lack of trace elements.
Traumatic Ulcer: Traumatic ulcer refers to the condition where the local mucosa fails to maintain wound cleanliness after trauma, leading to ulcer symptoms such as local swelling, pain, bleeding, and exudation. This phenomenon is normal. Pay attention to oral hygiene and local wound care, and use anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalosporins and penicillins as recommended by the doctor.
Spicy Diet: After oral mucosa damage, if a bland diet is not maintained and spicy foods such as chili peppers are frequently consumed, it may also lead to continuous damage to the oral mucosa. This situation is abnormal. It is recommended to maintain a bland diet in daily life and avoid consuming the aforementioned spicy foods.
Lack of Trace Elements: After oral injury, if sufficient intake of trace elements is not paid attention to, symptoms of mucosal damage may worsen due to zinc deficiency. Ulcers caused by zinc deficiency are also abnormal. After identifying the specific cause, zinc gluconate oral solution, lysine zinc gluconate granules, and other medications can be taken as recommended by the doctor for improvement.
Apart from the above common causes, it may also be related to a lack of vitamin C. If the disease affects normal chewing function, it is recommended to visit the oral department of the hospital promptly for corresponding treatment after identifying the cause.
