Home care methods you can do when you have stomatitis

When I am under a lot of stress or my immune system is weakened, I often get mouth ulcers. I am sharing home care methods for when mouth ulcers occur. It's simple information, but I hope it helps.

First. What is the cause of stomatitis?

It is not possible to determine precisely, but fatigue, changes in stress hormones, menstrual cycle, deficiencies in vitamins, iron, and folic acid, decreased immunity, or biting the oral mucosa could have contributed to the occurrence of the condition.

Second. What are the symptoms of stomatitis?

Above all, when you have stomatitis, it is very painful. Therefore, it is difficult to eat properly, and the symptoms worsen because of the food.

Third. What is the treatment for stomatitis?

As a first step in home care, when I notice signs of stomatitis, I take a single packet of high-dose vitamin C 3000mg. Because it is a high dose, I must take it after meals. When visiting the family medicine clinic and receiving a probiotic prescription, I was recommended Dr. PNT, and since they also have a vitamin product, I am taking it together. Next, if stomatitis has already developed, I apply the famous Albochill. I soak a cotton swab in the solution and apply it repeatedly several times. Immediately upon application, the lesion turns white and flakes off, helping to regenerate damaged tissue. As it turns white and coats the lesion area, it makes eating food easier, which I find very helpful.

Fourth. What are the ways to prevent it?

Above all, stress management and maintaining a healthy diet to prevent a decline in immunity should be prioritized. Additionally, hot, salty, and spicy foods should be avoided as they can cause severe mucous membrane irritation. Always develop the habit of brushing your teeth. Using oral rinses like Listerine or other mouthwashes is also a preventive measure.

This concludes the sharing of home care methods for the occurrence of stomatitis.
