Hello! Welcome to HCM.
You did not mention if she is under any medication for general health like hypertension.
Many of the drugs can be causing this.In that case she can consult the physician for a change in the prescription.
A clear cause for ulcers has not been given yet,however poor oral hygiene, stress, deficiencies can attribute.
She can use a lignocaine based gel like GUMTONE before food(this makes the area little numb, so that she can eat).
Gargle thrice daily with warm saline water.
Use a soft tooth brush.
Have a stress free lifestyle.
Regards.
