thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the ulcers could be aphthous stomatitis or herpetic ulcer or traumatic ulcer. consult your oral physician and get it diagnosed first. for reducing pain you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics. no need to take metronidazole. based on the diagnosis or identification of the cause we can treat accordingly. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
