Hello, thank you for your query.
These small white ulcers can be apthous ulcers or viral ulcers, the difference in between them is in apthous ulcers the gums are not involved as they are not red or painful where as in viral ulcers the gums can be involved and small ulcers also appear on the gums.
Kortozoon is a steroid which will not be helpful in viral ulcers.
So i think you should visit a dentist earliest to get these ulcers diagnosed and treated.
Hope it will help you.
