Young children themselves do not know how to rinse their mouth, so mom needs to process the baby’s mouth itself. You should wrap a bandage on your finger, dip in the prepared solution and gently wipe the baby’s gums, cheeks and tongue. Then you need to lubricate with gel or ointment. With this treatment, ulcerations are delayed faster, the healing process of the mucosa is more effective.
