Most ulcers go away on their own in a week or two. Possible causes for recurrent ulcers in mouth are emotional stress, vitamin B-12, zinc, folate or iron deficiency, certain foods or allergens etc.
Try to avoid foods that seem to irritate your mouth. Follow good oral hygiene habits. Eat healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Use stress-reduction techniques, such as meditation.

Ulcers can be due to various reasons like vitamin deficiency, stress related, or it could also be due to dental problems like a sharp tooth causing constant irritation and thereby ulcer. Kindly vsiti a nearby dentist to get the possible cause ruled out. Meanwhile, you can start using Tess gel for faster healing of ulcers. Application of Dolo gel can help to numb the area slightly before you eat your meals.
Health Tips
Use of Rexidine mouthwash twice daily and application of the above mentioned gel.
