Why can soft and smooth food be better in mouth sores?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can reduce pain and friction
Mouth sores are easily irritated by rough, crunchy, acidic, spicy, or very hot foods. Soft and smooth foods require less chewing and create less friction against the sore surface, making eating more comfortable. They should still be nutritious and individually tolerated; texture modification does not mean removing all nutrients.
