Sores on the corners of the mouth

Introduction Oral ulcers are more common in children. That is, muzzle sores. Rotten mouth, medically called angular cheilitis, mainly occurs in winter and spring. The main symptoms are itching of the mouth, followed by milky white erosion and cracks, sometimes small thick bubbles and crusting, painful, talking, eating without opening. If there is only a little ulceration in the corner of the mouth, it may be due to the lack of vitamin B2 in the diet. It is recommended to buy a bottle of vitamin B2 three times a day, one tablet at a time, and even one week, the situation will improve.

Cause

The cause of rotten mouth is mainly due to the lack of an essential riboflavin in the human body. This riboflavin is mainly contained in fresh vegetables and fruits. In the winter and spring, the climate is dry, fresh vegetables and fruits are small, and the natural intake of riboflavin is insufficient, which can not meet the human body's need for riboflavin, so the symptoms of rotten mouth are occurring. And the effects of infection, dryness, and spicy irritation.
