Causes of the disease
There are a large number of factors that are capable of provoking the development of stomatitis. Among them are:
- oral hygiene products containing LSL( this substance is added to hygienic preparations to form foam, but it has a dehydrating effect on the mucous membrane);
- mechanical injuries( bites, burns, etc.);
- emotional and mental stress;
- unbalanced food;
- increased sensitivity to certain foods, etc.
In what cases will Oksolin be effective?
Oxolin ointment is an antiviral agent that does not allow the viruses to multiply in cells. It should be noted that the 
infection, which causes stomatitis, is sensitive to oxolin.
As noted by manufacturers, up to 20% of the active ingredient oxolin ointment is absorbed when applied to the body or mucosa. Moreover, this substance does not accumulate and is excreted from the body.
Nasal ointment is used. It should be applied to the mucous membrane in the morning and evening.
There are three main forms of stomatitis:
- herpes;
- aphthous;
- candida.
Herpes is distinguished by its viral origin, aphthous can appear with poor oral hygiene, and candidal, as a rule, occurs in children. Each of these types of diseases is treated with appropriate medications.
Treatment with oxolin ointment is effective in the case of herpes stomatitis, as it is able to protect the mucous membranes from the effects of the virus.
The product differs in that it acts acutely on the inflammation, is able to penetrate deeply into the tissues and relieves not only the symptoms, but also heals the disease itself. In addition, this drug should be used as a preventive measure so that the disease can not recur later.
Features of application
Oxolin ointment is used in the treatment of stomatitis in adults, it is also prescribed for children who are already 2 years old. The agent is applied with a cotton swab or cotton swab on a site that has been inflamed. The inflammation itself looks like white sores, 
which can appear on the gums, lips or on the mucous membrane.
Duration of treatment Oxolin should be determined by a doctor, but most often the course of therapy for stomatitis is not more than a week. Apply the drug to the affected areas should be up to 4 times a day.
However, before applying the ointment, you should properly prepare the mucous membranes. In this case, the therapeutic effect will be more effective. First, using a bandage, previously soaked in a solution of vitamin A, you should remove the crust that appeared on the mucous membrane and lips. For wetting, you can also take sea buckthorn oil or rose hips.
Then the mouth should be rinsed with a decoction of chamomile, calendula or nettle. At the last stage of preparation, the mouth is treated with antiseptic, this will help reduce pain. The child will find it hard to rinse the mouth with a decoction, so the mucous membranes can be treated with a cotton disc moistened with infusion.
Oxolin ointment for the treatment of stomatitis in children
Essential disadvantage of the ointment is that it has a vaseline basis. The fact is that for this reason the child immediately swallows the remedy after it is applied to the oral cavity. Therefore, there are a number of recommendations that should be observed when applying ointment to treat a child. 
So, first you should consult an expert. It is especially important to do this if the baby is not yet two years old.
The drug should be used three times a day for a week. For a single application, a very small amount of ointment should be taken.
If irritation is noticed or dryness of the mucosa appears, then immediately discontinue such treatment.
Oksolinovaya ointment is often prescribed as a prophylaxis, so that the virus could not spread further. In addition, the use of Oxolin helps to relieve the condition of the baby, if the disease is at an early stage of development.
However, for the best result, treatment should be comprehensive. Therapy should include not only the indicated drug, but also antiviral medicines, as well as folk recipes. Before treatment, you must visit a pediatrician.
Is this treatment suitable for infants?
As a rule, oxolin ointment is not prescribed for the treatment of stomatitis in children who are not yet two years old. In rare cases, its use is allowed, but it should always be based on the health of the baby. Appoints a tool individually.
However, even if the doctor permitted the use of the ointment, it must be diluted with petrolatum before use. This will help avoid adverse reactions.
In addition, before applying the product you need to pay attention to the expiration date.
