Depdends: Ulcers in mouth can be sometimes viral infection or aphthous ulcers they tend to come and get better in few days. If you have bacterial infection of your mouth or throat, sometimes it takes 48-72 hours to get better even with antibiotics. If they don't get better it is better to have a follow up visit with your doctor to see if there needs to change in management plan.
