Stomatitis is an oral ulcer, also known as "aphtha". The disease mostly occurs between the ages of 20 and 50, often accompanied by constipation and bad breath. This disease is caused by virus infection. When people are infected, the virus exists in the body, hides in the blood vessels under the epidermis and reproduces in the nucleus. When the human immune system is abnormal, these viruses will be particularly active and the condition will deteriorate obviously. Experts believe that oral ulcer is also a kind of "modern civilized disease" because many patients get sick after fatigue. In addition, oral ulcers are also considered to be related to genetic and hormonal factors. For example, oral ulcers will worsen before menstruation in women, and cases of menopausal women will increase, but the incidence of pregnant women is low. All these phenomena indicate that the occurrence of ulcer is influenced by hormonal changes.

Because the cause of stomatitis is different, the symptoms are different. Clinically, it can be divided into catarrhal, aphthous, vesicular, cellulitis, pseudomembranous, ulcerative and papular types. No matter what kind of stomatitis, its clinical symptoms are salivation, loss of appetite or slow eating, bad breath, flushing of oral mucosa, warmth, swelling and pain. Catarrhal stomatitis is the most obvious symptom. When aphthous stomatitis occurs, there is a small round white or gray necrotic focus on the oral mucosa, surrounded by a red edge; When suffering from vesicular stomatitis, transparent blisters appear on the inner side of oral mucosa, tongue and lips, and dark red spots appear after 3-4 days. When suffering from foot-and-mouth disease, blisters also appear on the crown, heel, toes and breasts, which are hot and highly contagious; When you suffer from cellulitis stomatitis, you can see fluctuating swelling around your lips, maxilla and respiratory tract, and often distort your voice after oppression; When suffering from pseudomembranous stomatitis, there is a layer of cheese-like, slightly white or even grayish yellow pseudomembrance on the oral mucosa, which is composed of cellulose and necrotic tissue; When suffering from ulcerative stomatitis, ulcers and tissue defects appear on the oral mucosa; When suffering from papular stomatitis, small flat nodules with the size of yellow and white barnyard grass grains often appear on the inside and around the lips, tongue and mouth, which are highly contagious.
