Hello:)Thank you for choosing HCM.
You did not mention if she is under medication for general health.
(Check with the physician reg. this if any).Some drugs can also cause mouth ulcers.
Apply a lignocaine based gel like quadragel before food(this makes the area little numb, for temporary relief).
Gargle thrice daily with warm saline water.
Use a soft tooth brush.
Maintain good oral hygiene.Clean the area with sterile wet gauze piece.
Give lot of water and liquids.
Regards.
