The condition you are suffering from is called recurrent aphthous stomatitis.
It is a disease due to immunological factors.
This will be true if your ulcers occur at different sites in your mouth and self heal in a period of time.
You need to visit a dentist with interest in treating medical disorders of the mouth so that you can get a better understanding of what your disease is and what causes it.
If you don't understand what it is, you are in no place to get it treated.
The suggestions given here by other doctors are all very helpful. But you need to understand why it occurs.

You might be suffering from Apthous Ulcer, which might be due to allergy to some medicine or edible , u must co-relate it with the food u had prior to having the ulcers.
