Sometimes gargling with warm salt water or applying some baking soda helps it heal.

If it hurts when moving your jaw you may have some local infection. You can take Tylenol or Advil every 6-8 hours/2-3 days as needed for the pain, no need for antibiotic. The symptom will resolve in 3 days but it can take up to one week for the ulcer to disappear. Applying Orajel (OTC) over the ulcer before eating will ease the soreness due to irritation.
