how to treat mouth sores from vaping
Hey, Homework Helper, I've been experiencing mouth sores because of vaping. What should I do to treat them?
I'm sorry to hear that. First, you should consider stopping vaping as it might be the root cause of the sores. Then, you can try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water which can promote healing. Also, over-the-counter medications like mouth gels and lozenges can help.
Is there anything I should avoid eating or drinking?
Definitely. It’d be best to avoid hot, spicy, and acidic foods or drinks as they can irritate the sores. Alcohol and tobacco products should be avoided as well.
How about my oral hygiene routine? Should I make any changes?
Yes, you should try to maintain good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth gently with a soft-bristle toothbrush after meals and floss daily. Avoid any mouthwashes or sprays that contain alcohol as they might irritate the sores.
Should I consult a doctor or can I manage these sores by myself?
Initially, you can try to manage them by yourself. However, if the mouth sores persist for more than 2 weeks, or they get increasingly painful or spread, do not hesitate to consult a healthcare professional.
