you haven't mentioned the cause for which you visited a dentist and the reason he prescribed you a mouthwash. aphthous ulcers may from due to stress , gastric disturbances or any allergy. so you will have to rule out the cause of the ulcer. you may try stopping the mouthwash though allergy to it is quite uncommon.
have multivitamin tablets and heathy diet.
