Oralmedic is the single greatest thing in the world for dealing with painful ulcers. Unfortunately, the FDA thinks Americans are fucking idiots, so you can only get it through a dentist, but the UK treats their citizens like adults, so you can just order it online. I discovered this about a year ago and ordered 3 packages to save on shipping on the off chance it would work.
It turns 2 weeks of agony into 2 days. It chemically cauterizes the ulcer so there's no pain and recovery starts immediately instead of the usual progression of it getting worse, then way worse, then unbelievably bad, before finally starting to get better.
If you're able to suffer through 10 minutes of intense pain, I've had luck with these: Dentek Canker Covers
They're like little pills that you have to hold firmly in place against a dry ulcer for like 10-15 minutes until it adheres to it. (The instructions say 20 seconds - it's a lie) Make sure it doesn't get stuck to your finger or Qtip or whatever you're using to hold it in place. Make sure it doesn't slide around on the ulcer. It will eventually stick in place and you can let go. Saliva will then continue to help it adhere and it will begin to swell up into this nasty blob of protective goo that will keep your teeth from rubbing on it and allow at least a moderate amount of mouth-use without pain.
It also seems to speed up the healing process by quite a bit. I used two over two days on a massive one I had a while ago and will definitely use them again at the first sight of my next one. They're a little awkward, but the only thing I've found worth sharing with others. Sick of all the bullshit about anbesol and allum powder or w/e. I feel like people who get ulcers your size just roll their eyes tearfully at such suggestions.
I also bought this for the same ulcer that my first suggestion helped heal: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015X5ZW4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Glad the cheaper option seems to work well enough.
You can buy it at Amazon.ca:

It seems expensive but I'm not sure what's the normal retail price.
Also if your situation is really bad you can go to the dentist and they will spray the affected area for you (not sure if all dentists do this).
