Parents should always pay attention to the physical condition of babies, but sometimes neglecting them can easily lead to certain illnesses. For example, if a baby has mouth ulcers, they not only refuse to eat but also cry constantly. So, what are the symptoms of mouth ulcers in babies?
There will be white bumps on the oral mucosa of children, with a milky feeling and no pain. After wiping off the white film on the outside, there will be red wounds, which can occur on the mucous membrane of the child's tongue, cheeks, or lips. When the condition is mild, the child does not have a strong aversion, but may feel irritable and uncomfortable during eating, and parents may not be able to accurately judge.
If a child shows signs of drooling, it is likely a precursor to developing mouth ulcers. If the child has not yet reached the stage of teething, they generally do not drool. At this time, parents should be careful not to let their child's saliva stimulate the skin in the mouth area, which may worsen the mouth ulcers or cause rashes caused by saliva. Parents should observe their children's mouth and nose to see if there are any abnormalities, such as decreased appetite, impatience during meals, or even crying.
If a child has always had a good diet before, but suddenly becomes unwilling to eat or refuses when the food is too hot, it is mostly because the baby has mouth ulcers, which can react to hot food and cause pain when eating. Most cases of oral ulcers occur in infants and young children under the age of 2. Parents should pay more attention to their babies' dietary habits, hydration, and other aspects.
