POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. Mouth ulcers in a 7-month-old baby can be painful and may affect feeding. Here’s what you can do:
🔹 Home Remedies for Mouth Ulcers in Babies:
✅ Apply Ghee or Honey (for babies above 1 year) – A tiny amount of ghee can soothe the ulcer.
✅ Coconut Oil – Dab a little with clean fingers or a cotton swab to reduce irritation.
✅ Cool Foods – Offer chilled mashed banana, curd, or soft purees to soothe the area.
✅ Increase Hydration – Give more breast milk or formula to prevent dehydration.
✅ Aloe Vera Gel (pure, food-grade) – Helps heal ulcers naturally.
🔹 When to See a Doctor:
🚨 Ulcers last more than a week
🚨 Baby refuses to eat or drink
🚨 Fever or red swollen gums
🚨 Multiple ulcers appearing frequently
Avoid salty, citrus, and spicy foods that can worsen pain. If the ulcers persist, a doctor may recommend a vitamin supplement (like B-complex) or mild gel for relief.
Let me know if the ulcers are severe or recurring, and I can suggest more options!
