Mouth Ulcers

[mother of 2]

Help, my 22 month old daughter has a few mouth ulcers and is very reluctant to eat or drink as it hurts her ulcers, does anyone have any suggestions what I can do or give her?

try parsley since it is supposed to reduce the "heat in the body" as chinese people say. you can make a soup out of it using parsley, fish and salty egg. however, if it is a hand-foot-mouth disease (in which mouth ulcer is one of the signs), then you might want to see a doc.

Thanks will take her to see the dr tonight.

I suggest you may visit a chinese doctor and ask for non-bitter-tasted medicine (usually it is sweet (I have tasted that). The ulcer condition will be largely improved within one or two days after the child go to toilet for "pooh-pooh".
