Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Lime is a cause for mouth ulcers while there can be number of other acidic ingredients causing mouth sores..

So to reduce mouth sores you can start gargling with 1:1 solution of milk of magnesia and benadryl..
Do warm saline gargles..
If the ulcers are painful you can apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine..
You can also apply 0.1% Triamcinolone Acetonide ointment over the sores..
Avoid spicy and acidic foods..
Drink plenty of cool water..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
