It is common for parents to encounter the issue of blisters in children’s mouths, which not only affects their appetite but may also cause oral redness, inflammation, pain, and even symptoms like mouth ulcers, swollen gums, and toothache. Due to limited expressive ability in children, parents need to observe carefully to promptly identify symptoms and take corresponding measures.
When the blisters appear white and the child experiences oral pain, it is likely caused by a viral infection rather than simple internal heat. In this case, consider using antiviral oral liquid or honeysuckle oral liquid for treatment.
If the blister surface shows white flaky, easily removable patches, it may be a canker sore caused by fungal infection. It is advisable to seek medical attention for diagnosis and treatment by a professional doctor in such cases.
Moreover, mouth ulcers are also a possibility and may be related to the child’s recent monotonous diet, unbalanced nutrition, and inadequate fluid intake. It is not beneficial for recovery to further reduce food intake in such situations as it can exacerbate nutritional deficiencies.
Adjusting the child’s diet structure is crucial. Avoid offering only high-calorie, high-protein foods to prevent overheating. Provide moderate amounts of cool fruits and vegetable purees, encourage the child to eat small amounts at a time, and supplement with vitamin B2 to alleviate symptoms.
In daily care, ensure that the child drinks plenty of water, reduces snack intake, maintains a diverse and balanced diet. If symptoms persist, timely comprehensive examinations should be conducted.
At home, you can try giving the child rock sugar pear juice as an adjunctive treatment and provide easily digestible millet porridge. Also, maintain cleanliness of the mother’s nipples and the child’s utensils to prevent transmitting colds and other illnesses through family members.
In conclusion, children’s mouth blisters are often related to viral infections and internal environmental imbalances, compounded by the fact that children have a relatively fragile immune system and are easily influenced by external factors. Therefore, besides targeted treatments, attention should be paid to dietary adjustments, prevention of internal heat, ensuring comprehensive nutrition to enhance the child’s resistance.
