Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
These lumps which you are mentioning can be either herpes ulcers or aphthous ulcer.
In case of herpetic ulcers you have to start with antiviral medications and symptomatic relief with an anesthetic mouthwashes. And in case of aphthous ulcer you have to take a topical ointment named pansoral gel, and an lycopene containing antioxidant capsule once daily as well as a mouthwash- Kamol or tantum.
But for proper treatment you have to visit a dentist and get it examined.
Hope it will help you.
