Causes and types of stomatitis
Treatment of stomatitis in young children is carried out by treating the affected areas with special medicinal compounds, the choice of which is carried out in accordance with the etiology of the disease. Treatment is prescribed by the pediatric dentist after examining the small patient and identifying the cause and nature of the disease.
The disease can develop due to bacteria entering the mouth through dirty hands or cutlery, as well as due to a weakened immune system. The spread of pathogenic bacteria in a child’s body occurs at extreme speed due to the vulnerable mucous membrane. An additional factor is weak salivation, which causes a lack of hydration. Excessive dryness leads to cracks into which bacteria penetrate and cause disease.
Stomatitis often develops while taking pharmacological drugs. To avoid progression of the disease, you need to stop taking antibiotics. During the consultation, the decisive factor is the observations of the parents. They are the ones who can explain the cause of the disease (injury to the mucous membrane, allergies, taking antibiotics).

- rhinitis;
- increased saliva production;
- overactivity of the thyroid gland, which leads to thyrotoxicosis;
- dysfunction of the vascular system;
- enlargement of the submandibular lymph nodes.
Aphthous stomatitis
Aphthous stomatitis is characterized by the appearance of a large number of aphthous stomatitis on the oral mucosa. These are round or oval ulcers covered with plaque. The causes of this disease are as follows:
- past infectious diseases: influenza, measles;
- lack of vitamin B12 and microelements in the body;
- oral injuries;
- gastrointestinal diseases.
For the most effective treatment of aphthous stomatitis in children, our specialists pay special attention to identifying the cause that caused it. Treatment of acute stomatitis in children is simply necessary, since the disease itself is very difficult. Its characteristic feature is unpleasant pain symptoms, which intensify when the ulcers are touched with hot or sweet food.
Treatment of purulent stomatitis in children requires an integrated approach. It consists not only in local treatment of ulcers with medications, but also in proper diet, frequent drinking and regular oral hygiene.
Viral stomatitis
The name of viral stomatitis speaks for itself: it is caused by influenza, herpes, measles and chickenpox viruses.
Symptoms of the disease at an early stage include weakness, lethargy, a slight increase in body temperature, and pain in the mouth. When examining the oral cavity, you can see the appearance of small red ulcers on the mucous membrane and tongue. Treatment of viral stomatitis in children depends on the age of the child, the state of his immunity and the stage of the disease. As a rule, our experts recommend treating the oral mucosa with anti-inflammatory drugs and decoctions, and lubricating the affected areas with vitamin A.
Operating principle
The effectiveness of the product is explained by the successful combination of ingredients present in the composition. Once on the skin and mucous membranes, it easily penetrates all their layers and gets to work.
- Iodine. The component has a primary therapeutic effect and is introduced in a high-molecular form.
It has a strong bactericidal effect against all gram-positive and negative bacteria.It improves tissue nutrition, normalizes the metabolic process, relieves pain, relieves swelling and inflammation, stimulates the regeneration process in cells, and protects healthy areas of the epithelium from infection.
- Potassium iodide. It is a strong catalyst in the preparation, which enhances the effectiveness of iodine. It also exhibits an independent therapeutic effect, showing antiseptic, antifungal and local sedative effects.
- Glycerol. Softens tissues, neutralizes the drying effect of iodine, reduces the likelihood of irritation of tissues and mucous membranes, which has a positive effect on recovery.

Candidal stomatitis
Candidal stomatitis is known as thrush. It can appear in children even in infancy, and it is caused by saprophytic fungi, which become pathogenic when immunity decreases. With this type of stomatitis, white spots appear in the child’s mouth. In addition, there may be an occasional increase in temperature and the appearance of photophobia. Infection of a child can occur through contaminated dishes, toys or pacifiers.
Treatment of candidal stomatitis involves undergoing daily procedures in the dental office, rinsing the mouth with alkaline solutions, and taking vitamins.
Treatment of stomatitis in a child cannot be delayed, otherwise this may lead to relapse of the disease. CELT pediatric dentists recommend regular preventive examinations that will help prevent the development of serious dental diseases, including stomatitis!
Treatment of stomatitis in a child
The main rule is to immediately contact a specialist and not use any gels or ointments based on recommendations from the Internet. Each type of pathology is treated differently, so the dentist conducts a comprehensive examination. Additional consultation with an otolaryngologist or dermatologist is often required.
In complex therapy, proper oral care is prescribed and professional toothpaste is selected. Solutions and gels are required. If the form is viral, then antibiotics are used, and if it is allergic, then antihistamines are used. If necessary, medications are used to reduce the temperature (if there is fever and chills).

Prevention of stomatitis in children
- Be sure to clean all cutlery, bottle and pacifier. Boil periodically.
- You need to brush your baby teeth 2 times a day. Cleaning should be carried out by parents up to 6 years of age, and then show all the movements to the child and teach him proper oral hygiene.
- After eating food, you need to rinse your mouth with boiled or filtered water that is well removed from bacteria.
- Wash your hands and all toys regularly. Children often put their fingers or toys in their mouths - wean them off this (many pathogenic bacteria get into the mucous membranes).
- Visit your dentist 2 times a year for a visual examination and disease prevention.
- Do not give your child too hot or cold food. Avoid hard, spicy, sour and very salty foods. This will lead to injury to the oral mucosa.
- Avoid foods that cause allergies.
- Provide a healthy diet rich in minerals and vitamins. It is advisable to walk outdoors more often. All this helps strengthen the immune system and protect against stomatitis.
special instructions
Treatment of stomatitis is carried out comprehensively. Before treating the oral cavity with Lugol's solution, it is necessary to clean the mucous membrane of food debris, lipid and purulent secretions. To do this, you should rinse your mouth with medicinal herbs or antiseptic solutions.
Herbal infusions have a beneficial effect on the affected mucous membrane: chamomile, sage, calendula, oak bark. Herbal infusions soothe irritated mucous membranes, relieve pain, have an antiseptic effect, rinse out the smallest pieces of food from the mouth, cleanse ulcers from accumulated pus, and soften the resulting crusts.
You can rinse your mouth with a number of other solutions: soda, potassium permanganate, furatsilin.
Important! You should not rinse your mouth with chlorhexidine before treating the oral cavity with iodine-containing preparations, in particular Lugol. These two drugs do not mix.
The simultaneous use of Lugol with essential oils and hydrogen peroxide is prohibited due to the incompatibility of these substances.
How to care for a child after stomatitis appears?
Without the help of parents, a child will never get rid of the disease, because strict discipline is needed. You must follow all the requirements of the pediatric dentist and pay special attention to diet and pain medications.
Prefer soft food with a temperature of no more than 28o C. It is important that it has a balanced composition of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Allergens, as well as spicy, sweet, sour and very salty foods, must be excluded from the diet. It is advisable to exclude citrus fruits due to their high acid content. After eating, rinse your mouth with filtered or boiled water.
Treatment includes the use of painkillers. The child will feel severe pain at first, which will interfere with sleep. Therefore, you need to regularly rinse your mouth not only with clean water, but also with medicinal balms. The affected area should be smeared with medicinal gel. All recommendations for treatment and pain relief will be given to you by your pediatric dentist during your consultation.
