Hello, thank you for sharing your problem with healthcaremagic.
These ulcers which you are mentioning that they are major ulcers and recurrent in nature it can be aphthous ulcers as they are recurrent in nature, but they are not so recurrent that they cause so much of difficulty.
If it is like this then you should consult your dentist get it examined whether it is actually ulcers or some other disease like lichen planus, pemphigus or pemphigoid etc.
For temporary relief you can take some topical anesthetic ointment, and some immunomodulaters also.
But still it will better that you should visit your nearest dentist.

Whenever such ulcers develop, you can apply local anesthetic and analgesic gels. usually they do not cause ear pain, if you develop such pain consult ENT doctor for physical examination.
