What should I do if my canker sores have been around for a few weeks and have not healed?

Canker sores that have been bad all the time may be caused by poor eating habits, low immunity, etc. Patients can be treated by adjusting their diet and taking medications.

1. Reasons

1. Poor eating habits: If the patient eats spicy and irritating food for a long time or often stays up late, it will affect the normal metabolism and proliferation function of oral mucosal epithelial cells, thus causing the symptoms of oral ulcers. It is recommended that patients should develop good living habits, avoid eating some spicy and stimulating foods, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and maintain sufficient sleep time.

2. Low immunity: When the body's immunity decreases, it will cause the immune system to be unable to remove some pathogens in the body in time, so that the pathogens will multiply in the oral cavity, thereby inducing the occurrence of mouth ulcers.It is recommended that patients can participate in physical exercise to enhance their physical fitness, and can also use recombinant human interferon α-2b gel, ice boron powder and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of doctors.

2. Treatment

For patients with mild symptoms, no special treatment is generally required, and the condition can be alleviated by paying attention to oral hygiene and cleaning in daily life. For patients with severe symptoms, they need to be treated by applying watermelon cream spray, ice boron powder and other drugs according to the doctor's instructions, and if necessary, they can also be combined with oral amoxicillin capsules, cefixime dispersible tablets and other antibiotics to help improve the symptoms.

In addition, it may also be caused by vitamin deficiency, genetics and other factors, and it is recommended that patients go to the hospital for complete examination and determine the cause of the cause before seeking treatment.
