Everybody
is plagued by vesicles on the tongue and in the mouth at least once in a
lifetime. An unsightly layer of grayish white covers them, and the ulcers
are very sensitive to pressure. Some will burst, and the lumps will vary
in shape and size. The alveolar sacs are also called aphthae. bacobolts.yictic
Three forms of
aphthous ulcers
Minor aphthae are the smallest, major aphthae are
the large ones, and herpetiform aphthae belong to the herpes-like
diseases. 9 out of 10 of the vesicles fall under the small aphthous ulcers , and they usually do not
burst. The major swellings, on the other hand, reach a diameter of up to
three centimeters, burst particularly often and cause more discomfort than the
small vesicles. They grow into the tissue and cause wounds there that
become inflamed, painful and heal poorly. It can take several weeks to
heal. construction-bolts.tockhop

The herpes-like blisters spread mainly on the
inside of the lip, where they grow in large numbers and are very
painful. However, they heal faster than major aphthae.
The tongue, palate, the inside of the cheeks and
lips are the preferred regions where the vesicles settle.
The location of the blisters is more important than
the size: The sensitive tip of the tongue, for example, hurts enormously if
even a small aphtha forms there, while a larger blister in the cheek tissue
hurts less, as it rarely comes into contact with foreign bodies or other body
parts such as the Teeth comes. techqueer
diagnosis
Changes in the mucous membranes and an inflamed
pharynx are typical of aphthae. The changes do not merge into one another,
but appear as clearly defined “yellow pimples” in the center of a pink-colored
border. If there is also a burning pain, increased salivation and it hurts
while eating, then it is clearly the annoying blisters.
Alive vesicles
causes
If there is no underlying disease, one can only
speculate about the causes of the blisters: Hormones seem to play a role, as do
psychosomatic reasons such as stress, but also a disturbed immune system and
food intolerance. Since aphthous ulcers are very often associated with a
general weakness in the run-up to an infectious disease, several of these
factors probably play together.
Many diseases are wrongly regarded as an expression
of poor hygiene on the part of those affected. However, this usually
applies to aphthous ulcers. The number 1 cause of the annoying blisters is
a lack of oral hygiene. tc-bolts.dyifo
Anyone who does not brush their teeth or only
superficially brush their teeth , does not clean the tongue, thinks mouth rinses
are superfluous and does not remove food residues from teeth and tongue, not
only has an unaesthetic effect on others, it also offers a paradise for
bacteria in the mouth. These bacteria damage the mucous membranes, and the
vesicles show that inflammation spreads when these mucous membranes are no
longer intact.
However, a healthy diet, which also ensures a good
smell from the mouth, can also attack the mucous membranes. Citrus fruits,
pineapples or kiwis contain acids, and these acids also break down the
protective layer inside the mouth.
Regular brushing of your teeth
can prevent alveolar vesicles - but those who brush too much can also damage
the oral flora and in turn promote vesicles. (Image: 2mmedia /

Even when brushing your teeth and cleaning your
tongue, “too much of a good thing” is bad. Cleaning your teeth, tongue and
mucous membranes with a brush, toothpaste and mouthwash is important and
right. However, constantly brushing your tongue with a toothbrush, for
example before and after every meal, before those affected leave the house, and
especially as soon as a plaque forms on the tongue, attacks the protective
layer in the mouth. But that itself is not a disease, it just prevents
diseases. bolts.answerhop
Alive vesicles, on the other hand, are not a
disease in their own right, but rather indicate a disease. For example,
they precede a cold, they can indicate disorders of the gastrointestinal system
or show a general weakness of the immune system, a flu-like infection or fungal
diseases such as candidiasis.
However, vesicles also develop as a side effect of
antibiotics or as a symptom of stress ,
cigarette or drug addiction.
The following
triggers are suspected to be the cause:
1) Autoimmune reactions. Here the body's defense system is not directed
against pathogens, but against the body itself, in this case against the mucous
membranes.
2) allergies. Those affected often suffer from
allergies to citrus fruits, the acid of which in turn can attack the oral
mucosa.
3) Viruses cause similar vesicles, including herpes
virus in humans and foot and mouth disease in animals.
4) nerve damage. If the nerves inadequately
regulate blood flow, this provides a breeding ground for infections.
5) Deficiency in folic acid, vitamin B12 and iron
probably promotes the formation of the vesicles.
6) Wrong toothpaste: Sodium lauryl sulfate, netrium
dodecyl polyoxoethylene sulfate and triclosan are considered to be possible
triggers of aphthous ulcers.
7) Behcet's disease is associated with aphthous ulcers
in the mouth and genitals. The intestinal disease Crohn's disease also
leads to various of the painful blisters.
Prevention of
Ạphtha
Mouth sores can be effectively prevented, as poor
hygiene is usually the cause. Tongue cleaners help to contain the coating
on the tongue in which the bacteria spread, and mouthwashes and toothpaste
often contain special antibacterial substances that prevent infection.
Propolis has proven itself in many sufferers who
tend to develop blisters. This is a brown-yellow, resin-like mass that is
produced by honey bees. It consists of the resin from different trees,
which the bees mix with other components such as wax, pollen and body
secretions and then use it as building material in the beehive.
The substance, also known as “putty resin” or “bee
resin”, has antibiotic, antiseptic and antioxidant properties, as well as
fungicidal and anti-carcinogenic properties. It supports healing, inhibits
inflammation and stimulates the body's defenses.
Propolis has many natural healing
effects and can be dabbed directly on the blisters in the form of a tincture,
for example. (Image: photocrew / fotolia.com)
Due to its valuable ingredients, it is used for
numerous complaints. These include, for example, wounds, inflammation of
the gums and skin, acne and bad breath ,
propolis has also proven itself as a home remedy for burns and stye .
In the case of alveolar vesicles, bee resin can
develop its healing effects in various ways. If it is warmed up with the
hands until it is soft and then placed directly on the affected skin area, it
has a preventive and, in acute cases, pain-relieving and healing-promoting
effect.
Propolis in the form of a solution for gargling is
very suitable for aphthae. To do this, put about 20 drops of propolis
tincture in a glass of water and rinse your mouth thoroughly with
it. Alternatively, you can carefully dab the blisters with the undiluted
tincture.
