    depends on what the ulcer are caused by but, for pain you can make a mouth wash out of liquid benadryl and Maalox swish the mixture around in your mouth and spit it out. It will help with the ulcers and numb your mouth so that you can eat and such.

    Use a different toothbrush when you have one,
    gargle wth salt water, and if possible keep the area dry.

    Watch how much acidic food you eat and take L-Lysine. (This is an OTC supplement.)

    My son used to have terrible mouth sores when he was little and the doctor recommended an equal part mix of liquid benedryl and maalox, it seems the benedryl helps to dry and heal and the maalox to soothe and heal…don’t drink it just swish it around in your mouth and spit it out. Check with your doctor first though to make sure you aren’t allergic to either of the over the counter medicines….good luck, it really helped my son.
