【Laiwo Medical: Knowledge Sharing】I had a terrible roommate living in my mouth
Publish Date： 2025/9/3
It's here again, just after I finished a week of overtime and rewarded myself with a nine grid hotpot. Late at night, lying in bed, the tip of my tongue unconsciously swept over the inside of my right upper jaw. Suddenly, a sharp pain hit me, as if I had been lightly pricked by a small needle. A familiar and heartwarming subtle sensation came through - well, that uninvited old roommate, with a mouth ulcer, had moved in again.
It never greets me in advance and never cares about my schedule. I always knock on the door suddenly at my most relaxed and proud moments, and then naturally choose the corner with the worst feng shui but the strongest presence in my mouth (usually the place where teeth are easiest to scrape), announcing the start of its lease.
Its check-in ceremony is always so domineering and fast. On the first day, it was just a slightly shy red dot that made me wonder if I accidentally bit my tongue. But in just one night, it can quickly complete its "decoration" and become a full, round, white center, and red surrounding "independent kingdom", as if announcing the official start of its "lease term", and I can only reluctantly accept its "rule".
Do you want it to pack up and leave quickly? Then it is necessary to provide sufficient "restorative ingredients" for the oral cavity, such as eating fresh oranges and kiwis every day to supplement vitamin C, and consuming moderate amounts of eggs, spinach, and other foods to help supplement B vitamins. The two pronged approach is to help it move out earlier; Another important thing is to adjust your diet to a "gentle mode" and temporarily turn it off: hotpot, spicy strips, potato chips, nuts... they will only bully the wound and make you doubt your life. It is better to replace it with warm and cool Congee, steamed eggs, yogurt, tofu and other delicate, soft, glutinous and non stimulating food, giving it a good environment for quiet repair.
Don't forget to get off work on time! Try to sleep for 7-8 hours, only when you are asleep can your body work seriously. Finally, eat slowly and be careful, so as not to accidentally injure your allies by shaking your teeth. Don't lick the wound - if you think you're soothing it, you're actually saying, 'Don't leave, stay a few more days!' Such behavior will only prolong its' lease '.
Although it always likes to launch surprise attacks, isn't this a gentle reminder from its body to us? It reminds us to slow down our pace of life and be good to ourselves. Laiwo Medical hopes that you can put down your mobile phone earlier tonight and have a bowl of warm Congee to give yourself and your body a chance to make up~
