Hi Doctor. My name is Imran , age 45. I am suffering for mouth ulser from last 2 months and it is very painful . I consulted couple of Doctors including an ENT and a specialist of Internal Medicine . They gave me anto acidity tablets to control reflex and steroids that was helpful to cure upto some extent. Now it started again.

Hello,
Actually there are different types of mouth ulcers, all of them are not treated with steroids.
I think you should consult an oral medicine specialist as he will examine the ulcers thoroughly and then give you medication, and even he will go for biopsy if needed for the ulcers.
Till then you take some topical ointments such as mucopain or pansoral to apply on the ulcers and some lycopene containing multivitamines.
Hope it will help you.
