Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
There are many causes of mouth ulcers it can be aphthous ulcer but they are recurrent which is not in your case, they can be herpetic ulcers but they are not getting healed by the medications.
Then we can think of some ulcers related to autoimmune disease like pemphigus or pemphigoid. But for confirmation you have to visit an oral medicine specialist as he will properly diagnose the condition.
Hope it will help you.
