Thanks for the query.
Ulcer in the mouth only may not be directly related to these medicines. They may cause mouth ulcer as a part of generalized allergy to the medicines that you are taking. Another point one has to note is that these medicines (antibiotics in particular) can cause problem in the protective bacteria of human digestive tract. This may result in vitamin deficiency, mouth ulcers etc.
Please see a physician and get this examined to rule out a remote possibility of apthous ulcer.
