Clinical examination required for diagnosis. It could be an allergic reaction to something. Consult a dentist since they are present for a long time

There are many reasons for mouth ulcers.
If the cause is bcomplex or a sharp tooth visit a dentist. If the dentist says not because of a sharp tooth,
Most common cause is stress, less sleep and too much of anxiety. If severe problem with ulcers can relieve temporarily by short term steroids.
