Treatment of stomatitis in children folk remedies

That's the way children are, that they need to taste everything. Kids are trying to drag in his mouth all that is bad. Older children often unknowingly lick their fingers, forget to wash their hands. That is why in childhood so often happens stomatitis. Inflammation of the oral mucosa is a rather painful condition. But you can help your child with it not only with pharmaceutical preparations, but also with traditional medicine. We will talk about them in this article.

Stomatitis is a disease that is almost impossible not to notice; any mother is able to detect herself characteristic signs that the child's mouth has inflamed:

• Anxiety and bad mood of the child.
• Decreased appetite, pain when eating.
• Changes in the mucous membranes of the mouth: redness, rather severe swelling, the appearance of ulcers with white, gray or yellowish bloom.
• Increased salivationsalivating.
• Sometimes you can notice bleeding gums.
• Almost always from the mouth there is an unpleasant smell.

Doctors still can not explain the true causes of stomatitis. The most obvious prerequisite - a violation of hygiene - does not cause problems. It is clear that pathogens that have entered the mouth cause foci of inflammation. But experts tend to believe that not only microbes are to blame for this unpleasant illness.

Sometimes stomatitis provoke certain immune processes. Presumably, such a reaction in the mouth occurs in cases where, for reasons that are not fully understood, the immunity cannot identify certain particles or molecules. According to the "logic" of immunity, if not identified - it should be destroyed, and an army of lymphocytes "rushes" at the mysterious guests. This causes the appearance of sores.

If a child takes medicines that dry the mouth, reduce the amount of saliva secreted (for example, antihistamines), he also has a rather high risk of stomatitis. In adolescents during puberty, the hormonal background is unstable, and this is also a prerequisite for oral inflammation.

Often, children with a genetic predisposition to this disease are susceptible to stomatitis: if a mother or father often faces this unpleasant condition, then it is likely that the child will inherit the qualitative composition of the oral microflora and will also suffer from stomatitis.

Poor quality braces or incorrect installation can also cause inflammation of the oral mucosa.

Treatment for common stomatitis is not a hard task., to cope with this really for 7-12 days, including the means from the arsenal of traditional healers. Often stomatitis goes away without treatment at all. But with respect to children, there is no need to hope for this, because the lack of proper therapy can lead to complications and the spread of infection.

As with most children's ailments, the main danger lies in the errors in the diagnosis. It would seem that a simple disease is a simple treatment. But in fact, everything is much more complicated.The fact is that stomatitis may not be an independent disease, but only a symptom of more dangerous conditions, such as diseases of the stomach and intestines (gastritis, duodenitis, colitis, and a number of others). Stomatitis may indicate that worm infestations have firmly established in the intestines of a child. In addition, ulcerative inflammation of the oral mucosa can also occur with HSV (herpes simplex virus), as one of the manifestations of a herpes infection.

Stomatitis can be both allergic and traumatic. The most common among young children - catarrhal, it is caused by a violation of the hygienic requirements for the content of the oral cavity.

Many parents believe that stomatitis is always contagious, so they immediately separate out separate dishes to a sick child so as not to infect other family members. It is not always so.

Error in diagnosing the origin of the disease can cause serious consequences - inflammation can go to the larynx, cause negative processes in the respiratory system, and even contribute to the development of a systemic infection.

Stomatitis in children differs from the similar diagnosis in adults in the frequency of severe course. Imperfect immune protection of the child copes worse with security functions than an adult. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a child to have multiple sores in the mouth, exciting both the inside of the cheeks, and the tongue. This increases temperature, the child’s well-being deteriorates significantly, there is a pronounced pain syndrome. Such stomatitis requires the early use of antifungal agents, antiseptics and painkillers, sometimes doctors prescribe antiviral drugs. Doctors believe that it will be better if the treatment of a complex form is carried out with pharmacy medicines.
