I have read your query and gone through the image you have attached . As far as I have observed you have Viral stomatitis . Mouth ulcers in viral stomatitis can be caused by certain medications, vitamin B12 deficinecy or folate , Hormonal changes or temporarily reduced immune system.

- Avoid stress . Take proper sleep .
- Avoid hot and spicy food .
- You can apply Ointment like Acyclovir on ulcers . If needed, you can Take oral tlet Acivir along with Vitamin B supplements by consulting with local doctor .
