Question
What medication should a child take for the appearance of ulcers at the corners of the mouth and chapped lips? Is it true that common soy sauce can heal the condition overnight? What should be eaten to help with the recovery of chapped lips?
Answer
Oral ulcers may be related to gastrointestinal discomfort, and if they occur frequently, they might be associated with a deficiency in vitamins, zinc, or other factors. They could also be related to spicy or irritating foods, or hard foods. Soy sauce can sometimes have a soothing effect. Treatment methods can include using an oral ulcer spray on the affected area, drinking plenty of water, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and increasing the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
