It usually takes 7 days, but this is inconclusive. It depends on personal care.
Angular stomatitis is commonly known as rotten mouth. There are two main reasons for angular stomatitis. One is vitamin deficiency, which is caused by nutritional deficiency. The other is caused by infection, also called infectious stomatitis. The pathogen can be streptococcus or mold. It is more common in school-age children, especially infectious stomatitis, which can cause epidemic, mostly chronic and symmetrical, with a course of several weeks or months. The main performance is that the corners on both sides are gray and wet, which is the result of saliva soaking. There are some shallow cracks on the skin of the corners of the mouth, which are medically called chapped. The exudate at the chapped site can form a thin and weak yellowish scab. When combined with suppurative infection, it becomes a yellowish-brown scab. Opening your mouth will lead to scab, bleeding, pain, difficulty in speaking, and eating and drinking water will be affected. Sick children often lick scabies with their tongues because of dry scabies, so some people call it licking sores. In this way, scabbing and cracking alternately, drying and wetting alternately, are the reasons why keratitis persists.
Key points of home care
1. The cause of angular stomatitis should be determined, and then symptomatic treatment should be given. If vitamin B2 is deficient, there will be other manifestations, such as glossitis, dry tongue, some pain and tingling, and finally swelling to purple, smooth surface, like beef, also known as bovine tongue, sometimes accompanied by cheilitis and bursitis.
2. Treat people who take vitamins. Eat more green leafy vegetables, egg yolk, liver, brown rice, bean products, etc.
3. Be careful not to let the children lick their spat, and don't apply purple potion, because purple potion will make the spat drier and have a greater chance of cracks. You can apply some ointment, such as% ~ 5% kermeili ointment or chlortetracycline cod liver oil, which not only resists infection but also promotes the growth of epithelial cells.
4. Ensure the intake of sick children, feed water frequently and give a liquid or semi-liquid diet.
5. Develop the habit of not being picky about food and eat more fruits and vegetables.
Question 2: Keratitis, three or four days, when can it be cured? Keratitis is mainly caused by lack of nutrition and multivitamins. You can take vitamin B2 and vitamin B complex orally, and the medicine will return to normal after three to five days.
Question 3: How to get better quickly when the corners of the mouth are rotten? The quickest way is to put vitamin C tablets directly on the wound. Although it hurts a little, it can be cured immediately.
Question 4: What should I do if angular stomatitis has been bad? Suggestion: angular stomatitis, commonly known as rotten mouth, often occurs on one or both sides of oral mucosa. Due to different etiology, it can be divided into malnutrition keratitis, coccic keratitis and fungal keratitis. Malnutritional angular stomatitis often occurs in people with nutritional deficiency and vitamin B deficiency, and angular stomatitis caused by vitamin B deficiency is the most common. At first, the oral cavity is red, swollen and itchy, and then the epithelium falls off, forming erosion, impregnation or cracks, and it is easy to tear and bleed when opening the mouth, which affects eating and speaking. This disease is not what people call "getting angry". In particular, children have poor diet or partial eclipse habits, or are prone to chronic diarrhea and dysentery. It is easy to get this disease in winter, because the climate in winter is relatively dry, vegetables and fruits are eaten less, and vitamins C and B2 are often lacking, which leads to dry and chapped mouth. After the lips are dry, people like to lick their lips with their tongues, so as to make the lips and oral areas moist and get temporary comfort. However, saliva will evaporate quickly when it comes into contact with dry air, which will not only solve the problem of dryness, but also bring microorganisms in saliva into cracks, causing bacterial infection and aggravating oral inflammation. If you have angular stomatitis, you can apply some grease or anti-cracking oil on it. You can take vitamin B2, 1-2 tablets three times a day, and apply ice boron powder or Yunnan Baiyao locally. If it has been eroded and inflamed, you can apply 1% gentian violet liquid to your mouth twice a day. After these simple treatments, most angular stomatitis can be cured quickly. In order to prevent the occurrence of angular stomatitis in children, children should be allowed to eat rice flour, green fresh vegetables, beans, millet, meat, milk and so on. Do a variety of eating methods, match the thickness, and educate children not to be partial to food. Children with gastrointestinal diseases should be actively treated. In addition, if the quarrel is not timely, don't lick it with your tongue, so as not to make the quarrel drier and more prone to rupture and bleeding. Coccoid angular stomatitis is caused by streptococcus and staphylococcus infection, which is more common in elderly toothless patients. It is characterized by wet white, erosion or ulcer on both sides of the mouth, and it can also fester, bleed and scab. After local cleaning, the treatment should be coated with antibiotics (such as erythromycin ointment), and broad-spectrum antibiotics can be taken orally. Fungal keratitis is caused by fungal (mainly Candida albicans) infection. It is characterized by wet and white corners of the mouth, erosion or ulcer, often accompanied by cheilitis and lip erosion. PAS staining showed candida hyphae. Treatment should be washed and dried locally with nystatin solution, and then applied locally with nystatin, clotrimazole and miconazole. Note that broad-spectrum antibiotics are not suitable for this disease.
Question 5: When will the rotten mouth get better? Medically, it is called "angular stomatitis". If you have angular stomatitis, don't be too nervous. Some folk methods to treat angular stomatitis by using the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, such as mixing 20 grams of borax powder with honey and rubbing the affected area evenly; Or wash quarrels with cooked rice soup three times a day, all of which have certain effects.
Modern medicine advocates treatment for different reasons:
If it is angular stomatitis caused by riboflavin deficiency, you can first apply some anti-infective drugs to the corners of your mouth and take vitamin B2 and vitamin C at the same time; You can also wash the affected part of the mouth with light salt water to remove scabs. After air-drying, apply vitamin B2, which has been prepared into powder in advance, to the oral cavity, and apply it 1 time every morning, noon, after dinner and before going to bed, and generally it will be cured in three to five days.
If it belongs to oral erosion caused by herpes, you can apply tetracycline powder to your mouth for 2 ~ 3 days on the basis of keeping your mouth clean and preventing bacterial infection, and take the virus spirit orally under the guidance of a doctor.
If it is keratitis caused by mold infection, you can apply clotrimazole ointment and it will be cured in a few days.
In addition, some scholars have suggested that angular stomatitis is related to zinc deficiency. Children who have not been cured for a long time must take zinc tablets or eat more foods rich in zinc, such as bananas, oysters and lean meat, under the guidance of a doctor.
