Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

I have read your query and understand the concern,

1) There are many causes of throat ulcers ranging from mild to serious but mostly they are not serious and do not pose a significant health risk.

They might occur as the result minor trauma or burning it with hot food,contagious (herpes simplex virus) or canker sores (known as aphthous ulcers).

2) Ulcers over penis head might be due to balanitis or balanoposthitis or trauma to the glans or genital herpes (H.simplex) or chancroid.

In both of above cases, they must be examined by naked eye of an expert preferably dermatologist for proper diagnosis first.They may order some routine blood works also.

Treatment is mainly depend upon the underlying cause but symptomatic treatment is helpful as in most of the cases the cause remains unknown.In your case there might be chances of infective ulcer as you have history fever but needs to be evaluated by examination and tests.

Hope this will help you and if you need more clarification regarding symptomatic treatment then i can help you with that also.

Regards,
