Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Recurring mouth ulcers and having fever or flu like symptoms at the same time can be an indication of viral infection..
Cold sores or fever blisters can have a similar presentation..

So my suggestion is to once consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and preferably get checked when the sores are active in mouth..

A viral culture and antigen antibody reaction can be done to rule out if it is viral..
In case if it is viral then antiviral medication like Acyclovir can be advised and to alleviate pain you can use Lidocaine mouthwash gargles and warm saline gargles..
Acetaminophen can help in reducing fever..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
