Hi,
It would have been great if you could have mentioned the duration of the patch. Anyways, if the mouthwash and gels have been ineffective and you have exceeded 15 days with the same patch/ ulcer, i feel its time you see a maxillofacial surgeon who could exclude any other diagnosis.
In the meantime, try rinsing your mouth with warm saline rinses and apply topical dentogel (or a similar formulation) to the ulcer just before having food. This will make you comfortable during eating. This is not the definitive treatment, and is just supportive.
Wish you good health. Regards.

You haven't specified that from how many days it is present. Any nonhealing ulcer is always suggestive of a bad tbing. Meet one oral and maxillofacial surgeon in delhi.
