Brief Answer:
Not a serious issue.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The oral ulcers in
pregnancy are usually seen due to nutritional deficiencies associated with recurrent vomiting during early pregnancy. The symptoms usually resolve with fluid intake and good
oral hygiene. Use
chlorhexidine mouth wash and avoid acid drinks, like fruit juices or fizzy drinks, or drink them through a straw so they don't irritate your mouth. Also avoid spicy food and sharp food and citrus fruits.
You can use topical
ointments like numbing ointments, such as
benzocaine (Oragel), anti-inflammatory gels,
benadryl allergy liquid mouthwash, oral preparations of vitamin B complex supplements. Oral pain killers like
Ibuprofen will also help. But all these medicines are available under prescription and should be taken under a doctor’s guidance.
Here are some other healthy drinks you could try:
skimmed milk
coconut water
banana shake
It is best to prepare milk shakes and juices at home and drink them immediately. This reduces the risk of any spoilage or contamination. You could also include herbal teas for variety, but make sure you get the go ahead from your doctor first.
Try to limit your intake of deep fried and ghee laden snacks. It is better to use plant oils rather than animal fat that is high in saturated fats.
