Is there any home remedies that can help a mouth ulcer to heal or not be so painfull?

Yes: Generally a topical anesthetic like anbesol helps numb the area to make it more comfortable. The ulcer heals on its own.

Time heals: Viral ulcers take 7-10 days on average to heal fully. A topical otc anesthetic may help. Avoid spicy and acidic foods.
