It sounds too simple but.... gargle with salt water, not too strong, do it for about three or four days and it should be gone. Do it in the morning and after lunch, and then finally at night before bed and dont have anything to eat or drink after it. It tastes horrible but it should do the trick. Always works for me anyway.
Hope this helps. I would say one flat teaspoon in a half a tea mug of tepid water, gargle, then spit out.

Depending on how brave you're feeling, put some salt on it (it will sting like heck, but it works) or as Bonny Tuesday said gargle with salt water, these usually work for me.
Like Margaret says...see a dentist...but in the meantime, Bi-carb soda is good for taking the sting out.
Sorry Emzy didn't notice you had suggested that too

Benipete ya should see another doctor and get a second opinion, i have a mouth ulcer and had it only 3 days and its starting to heal, if ya have had this for over a few months then ya should get it seen too properly

definately think it needs investigating further, but in the short term if you like cheese eat a small amount regularly it keeps the acid in your saliva down to a minimum so will help with the healing process
Also, do you smoke? Smoking ruins the protective coating that we have inside our cheeks and on our gums. You really should go and see the dentist. He will check for all sorts of nasties, and he knows more about your mouth than a doctor would. While you have the ulcer, dont eat tomatoes, strawberrys, pineapple, or pepper, they will make it worse.

I have had ulcers twice on my tongue, my doc refered me to my dentist, who sent me to the oral clinic at BRI and last year The Royal Blackburn, on both occasions thy cut it out after trying steroid desolvable tabs on it. It was very sore for a few days, but healed perfectly in around a week. mine are caused by the amount of medication I take, which I suppose is a necessary side effect, I need the medication
Gargle with T,C,P,,,It really does work but it smells like Tom Cat Pi*ss...maybe thats where those initials came from 
Have you gargled Benipete?
Is it any better?

According to the instructions you dab it on neat.Seams to be working.If not will have to go to the Hospital.
It looks like it's a side effect from my medication.
