You can also lubricate the mouth five times a day with 2 or 6% baking soda solution (baking soda). Treatment in this case takes 3-4 days.

Clean the affected areas of the child's oral mucosa with a sterile cotton ball dipped in a pale pink aqueous solution of manganese-sour potassium, 0.25-1% hydrogen peroxide solution, 1-2% aqueous tannin or 0.25% aqueous borax. After each treatment, lubricate the affected areas with a 1-2% aqueous solution of aniline dyes sold in state pharmacies with their own laboratories. It could be Gentian violet; 0.25% solution of nitric acid silver; "Iodinol" diluted 1: 2 with boiled water; Lugol's solution diluted with boiled water in a ratio of 1: 3. This procedure must be repeated every 2-3 hours, but more than 5 times a day.
