Got mouth ulcers? We've got a handy remedy!

A Warm-hearted Netizen (Username: Jinjuan, QQ: 465279805): Hello, a friend of my uncle has a two-year-old child suffering from oral ulcers (known as “milk sores” in some rural areas). Despite visiting major hospitals in Hangzhou and Shanghai, the child’s condition did not improve, and instead, the child became increasingly thin. Later, someone recommended that they consult a 70-year-old traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner who had come to Yiwu from another region. The old TCM doctor only held consultations one day a week, and the parents didn’t have much hope, so they went to consult him after work. The highly respected TCM doctor, out of concern for the child, stayed an extra day to see the child. The doctor simply advised them to buy a tube of children’s toothpaste (genuine product) from a large supermarket, dip a piece of gauze in light saltwater, gently press it on the child’s mouth a few times, and then apply the toothpaste. The doctor assured them that even if the child swallowed some, it would be harmless. At that time, they squeezed half a tube of toothpaste into the child’s mouth and frequently checked the child’s oral cavity. Over time, thick, mucus-like substances would fall off inside the mouth, which needed to be promptly removed to prevent blocking the child’s airway. If the child fell asleep, they were advised not to disturb them. Eventually, the entire ulcerated area would fall off cleanly along with the toothpaste, and the child fully recovered.
