This pathology occurs with improper hygiene or complete absence of it against a background of reduced immunity. Also infectious diseases and untimely sanitation of teeth may precede the disease.
How should I be treated?
First of all, we must understand that this form of stomatitis, like ulcer, can be complicated by necrotic phenomena, namely, tissue death. Therapy at home or with the help of folk remedies here will not help, even on the contrary, "drive" the ailment into a chronic stage. Therefore, to learn how to treat ulcerative stomatitis, you need to see a doctor.
Under local anesthesia, the patient is removed from the necrotic areas and carefully treated the mucosa with an antibacterial agent. In a few days, you should again come to the reception so that the doctor can make sure of the positive dynamics of recovery.
Here is what is usually assigned:
1. Antibiotics. They are applied only in combination, since only one of them can be ineffective. The following schemes exist:
- injections of lincomycin and metronidazole tablets;
- injections of Klaforan and Metronidazole tablets.
There are other combinations, but, as a rule, these help faster.
2. Antiseptics. Rinse with chlorhexin, alcohol Chlorfillipt or other drugs.
3. Antibacterial treatment with gel. Usually it is done after rinsing, beforehand, having wetted the wounds with a swab. Erosive-ulcerative stomatitis is better treatable with the help of Holisala.
4. Antihistamines. It is necessary to drink a two-week course of one of these tablets:
- Tavegil ;
- Claritin;
- Suprastin.
Antihistamines are very helpful in the removal of inflammatory processes.
5. Immunostimulants. Used from the very beginning of therapy and at its end. The course is approximately three months.
Since ulcerative stomatitis often causes an increase in body temperature, it is quite possible that antipyretic agents will be needed.
Prevention of disease
Treatment of ulcerative stomatitis is recommended to continue until all the symptoms of the disease disappear. Complications of pathology are very dangerous, and can lead to intoxication of the body. To avoid a dangerous condition and prevent a relapse of the disease, you need:
- Continue to use an antibacterial mouthwash after each meal.
- Replace the toothbrush softer.
- Do not forget to brush your teeth in the morning and before going to bed.
