Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for asking on Ask A Doctor platform

I have gone through the query and do understand your concern.
Most common cause of mouth Ulcer in this age is some nutritional/multivitamin deficiency. Sometimes allergy can also cause ulcers.
Here I would suggest you to continue polybion, take zinc 20 mg per day for 1 month and apply zytee lotion over the Ulcers. Give plenty of fluids.
I hope this will help.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards
