The summer season has started and the heat is increasing with each passing day. The increasing heat also brings with it many health problems and one of these problems is mouth ulcers. These small blisters may seem minor in appearance, but they can cause a lot of trouble in eating, speaking and even drinking water. Extreme heat, increased heat in the body, lack of water, irregular eating habits and eating too much spicy or fried food are the main causes of blisters. Let us know some home remedies to get relief from this.
coconut oil
Coconut oil has anti-bacterial and cooling properties. Apply gently on the ulcers 2-3 times a day.
rinse with salt water
Adding a little salt to lukewarm water and gargling with it kills bacteria and reduces swelling. Do this twice a day.
