Hydrogen Peroxide Mouth Ulcer
On the effect of hydrogen peroxide on oral ulcers
Oral ulcers are common diseases in the mouth. Patients often feel pain and discomfort, which affects diet and speech. Today's discussion on the use of hydrogen peroxide in this disease is of great research value.
Hydrogen peroxide, chemical name hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidation. Reasonable application to oral ulcers can play multiple effects.
First, disinfection and sterilization. The oral environment is warm, and ulcer wounds are prone to infection with bacteria. When hydrogen peroxide touches the wound, its oxidation can break the structure and metabolism of bacteria, kill common pathogenic microorganisms, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, etc., prevent the infection at the ulcer from worsening, and create a good environment for wound healing.
Second, clean the wound. Food residues and secretions often accumulate on the ulcer, hindering healing. Gently rinsing with hydrogen peroxide can effectively remove, clean the wound, and facilitate the growth of new tissues.
However, the application of hydrogen peroxide is also particular. The concentration must be appropriate, and if the concentration is too high, although the bactericidal power is strong, it will over-irritate the wound, exacerbate pain, and even damage normal tissues; if the concentration is too low, it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect. Generally, the concentration of medical hydrogen peroxide is about 3%. For oral ulcers, it can be appropriately diluted to 1.5% - 2%. And the application frequency should not be too high, 2-3 times a day is appropriate. When applying, you can use a medical cotton swab to dip an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide, gently apply it to the ulcer surface, or rinse with a diluent for a while, and then rinse with water.
After applying hydrogen peroxide, patients may experience temporary pain exacerbation, which is a normal phenomenon and can be relieved after a while. If the pain is unbearable or there are abnormalities such as allergies, the use should be stopped immediately and medical treatment should be sought.
To sum up, the rational use of hydrogen peroxide in oral ulcers can help disinfect and clean and promote healing. However, patients should consult their doctor before applying it to ensure safety and effectiveness.
