Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Mouth ulcers are not uncommon condition and usually result due to emotional stress, dietary insufficiency or constant trauma by sharpened edges of teeth.
Look in your case if it is tooth or stress as dietary supplements not curing it.
Take probiotic supplements or have lot of yogurt, which increases good bacteria in mouth to fight ulcers.
Again antibiotic or steroid use for longer time cause similar ulcers. So if it is cause, consult your treating physician before stopping medicines.
I hope I have answered your query.

Dr. Neelam.
