What's going on with canker sores for a long time?

Canker sores can be caused by physical factors such as bites, burns, immune system disorders, or vitamin deficiencies. If there is no remission for a long time, you need to go to the hospital in time for targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Non-pathological causes

1. Biting: When the patient accidentally bites the oral mucosa while eating, a traumatic ulcer may occur, which is manifested as a condition that the oral ulcer does not heal for a long time;

2. Burns: If you eat overheated food, such as hot pot, spicy hot, etc., the high temperature of the food will irritate the oral mucosa, resulting in the formation of scalding ulcers, and the above symptoms will also appear.

2. Pathological causes

1. Immune system diseases: When the body's immunity is weakened, it is easy to be invaded by external bacteria, inducing infectious diseases, such as recurrent aphthous stomatitis, Behcet's disease, etc., which will lead to the occurrence of long-term non-healing of mouth ulcers;

2. Vitamin deficiency: When the human body lacks vitamin B and zinc, it will cause metabolic disorders in the body, which will affect the cell regeneration function and cause repeated mouth ulcers.

If you have an underlying medical condition such as diabetes or HIV, or if you are malnourished, it can also cause the symptoms of mouth sores to last longer. It is recommended to pay attention to a balanced diet in daily life, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, properly supplement protein, ensure sufficient sleep time, and avoid staying up late. At the same time, we must maintain a good attitude, actively exercise our body, and enhance our own resistance.
