Hello,
The ulcers in the mouth could be because of recurrent aphthous stomatitis that occurs most often secondary to stress. The other possible cause could be secondary to trauma like toothbrush injury or from food particles. It can also be from the herpes virus infection.
If it is a traumatic ulcer or herpetic ulcer, you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel apply three to four times daily before food. If it is an aphthous ulcer, you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel apply three to four times daily before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% four to five times daily after food.
Do saline gargling. If the lesion does not heal in five to seven days, then consult an oral physician and get it examined.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
