A mouth ulcer is like any other ulcer, just in your mouth. It is essentially an open wound (which is why getting salt in it hurts so much)that will have a hard time clearing up on its own. Ask a pharmacist to recommend a topical treatment that you can apply with a Q-tip. Ask for one that has a topical anasthetic to relieve the pain temporarily. Orajel is a product that comes to mind.
