Hi,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having burning ulcers in mouth.
Based on your clinical details, it appears to be due to nutritional deficiencies or trauma secondary to hard, sour and spicy foods.

1. clenora moth gel (steoid+anaesthetic) thrice daily local application before food.
2. take soft diet (smashed banana, soups).
3. oral topical application of glycerin.
4. XXXXXXX warm saline water gargle.
5. Resource protein powder with milk twice daily.
6. Multivitamin with zinc for one month.
7. stop taking hard spicy foods.
Discuss all about this with your doctor. You should inform to your doctor about your medications.
In case of persistent symptoms, needs to see an ENT surgeon to rule out other causes with blood tests and local examination.
