Visit a dentist to verify that these are actually ulcers.
Mouth ulcer typically are caused by trauma to the mouth from items like tortilla chips or other sharp items in the mouth. They can also be caused by spicy foods. The only way to get over them is to leave them alone and wait for them to go away.

It is probably an apthous ulcer which has no one source of causation that we know yet. Get your dentist to prescribe an ointment to relieve the pain and protect it temporarily until it heals usually in about two weeks.
Mouth ulcers may be caused by virus or bacterial infections, or by chemicals or allergens. Diet, smoking and work factors may be involved. Strongly suggested you visit a dentist who can evaluate your health and circumstances and determine the origin of these ulcers and what treatment is necessary.
Those mouth ulcers are thought to be caused by a virus. They usually last about two weeks. They’re very uncomfortable but nothing that we really have can make them go away any faster.All you can do is get something from the drugstore that numbs the place that makes it feel a little better or have your dentist put some debactorol on the ulcer.
