A. For instant relief from mouth ulcers in kids, you can try the following: 1. Saltwater Rinse: Mix a small amount of salt in warm water and have your child rinse their mouth gently. This can help reduce pain and inflammation. 2. Honey: Apply a small amount of honey directly to the ulcer. Honey has soothing and antimicrobial properties that can help with healing. 3. Ice Chips: Giving small ice chips or a cold, soft food like chilled yogurt can numb the area temporarily, providing relief from pain. 4. Topical Gels: There are over-the-counter oral gels or ointments designed for kids that can be applied to mouth ulcers for quick relief, such as those containing benzocaine or aloe vera. Ensure they're safe for your child's age. 5. Soft Foods: Offer soft, bland foods like mashed potatoes, applesauce, or oatmeal to avoid irritating the ulcer. If the ulcers persist for more than a few days or if your child experiences difficulty eating or drinking, it's best to consult a pediatrician for further treatment.
