Question
Does my baby have effective non-pharmaceutical treatments for oral pain?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, the baby’s oral gums are red and swollen, and there are blisters around the mouth. This is mainly caused by viral and bacterial infections. The following health care methods can be adopted: gently clean the mouth with a solution of salt water, and be careful not to damage the oral mucosa. Chrysanthemum water can also be used for rinsing. In terms of food, white carrots, mung beans, bitter melon, and water chestnuts, as well as fruits like pears and bananas, have the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, and can be made into decoctions for drinking. At the same time, it is important to drink plenty of water to aid in digestion and the excretion of toxins.
