When I see a freshly made jeon, I naturally swallow my saliva.

The sizzling sound and the delicious smell that stimulates the nose remain on the frying pan.

It stimulates the desire to just pull it out.

In the end, some who couldn't wait until the dish cooled to a proper temperature

They end up putting the pancake directly into their mouth, resulting in a disaster where their mouth gets completely burned.

A bitten tongue in daily life usually results in a burn of about 1 to 2 degrees.

If the skin tissue inside the mouth is damaged and not properly cared for, bacteria can invade and worsen conditions such as stomatitis.

How should I manage a small but annoying mouth sore?

The number of bacteria on the burned area must be minimized as much as possible.

If the number of bacteria in the wound area exceeds 10 to the power of 5 per unit area, infection progresses inward.

To relieve symptoms as quickly as possible, you should maintain good hygiene, provide clean fluids, and reduce the number of bacteria.

Then, the body naturally enters the healing stage.

It dissolves dead tissue and reconstructs surrounding blood vessels to reduce the wound.

The method is simple. Just brush your teeth well. The fluoride in the toothpaste kills bacteria and prevents secondary infection.

The inside of the mouth is always kept moist.

Unlike burns on other areas, there is no need to regularly apply moisturizer.

There are also immune components inherent in acupuncture.

However, spicy and salty foods should be avoided as they can irritate the burn area.

If the pain is severe, taking an analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication may help.

If a blister forms in your mouth, the response varies depending on its size. If it's small, it's better to leave it alone.

If the blister is large, it should be popped and oral hygiene must be thoroughly maintained.

Burn ointments applied inside the mouth are not very helpful.

The continuous flow of saliva causes the ointment to be swallowed down the esophagus.

Meanwhile, mouth burns are painful and bothersome, leading to the development of various folk remedies to heal them quickly.

Yogurt, milk, and honey can be helpful.

Yogurt and milk can relieve pain through cooling effects. Honey is a substance actually used in burn treatment.

It is better not to use soybean paste, ice water, etc.

Applying soybean paste can actually cause secondary infections.

Very cold water like ice water can actually worsen the wound.

Cold water constricts blood vessels, preventing proper blood flow to the blood vessels near the burn area.

If oxygen and nutrient supply become insufficient, recovery will not be possible. Using ice itself must be strictly avoided.

When you place ice on your tongue, the saliva between the ice and the tongue instantly freezes, making it difficult to remove the ice from the tongue.

When removing, strong stimulation may be applied to the wound area.
