Definitely see a doctor. An ulcer can be a serious problem!
You may be more likely to develop ulcers if you:

Are infected with the H. pylori bacterium
Take NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and many others
Have a family history of ulcers
Have another illness, such as liver, kidney or lung disease
Drink alcohol regularly
Are 50 years old or older

Will Drinking Milk Help Cure an Ulcer?

No. Milk can make your ulcer worse. Milk provides brief relief of ulcer pain because it coats the stomach lining. But milk can also stimulate your stomach to produce more acid and digestive juices, which can aggravate ulcers.
Medications

Proton pump medications (PPI). Proton pump medications reduce acid levels and allow the ulcer to heal. They include Prilosec, Prevacid, Aciphex, Protonix, and Nexium.
Antibiotics. If you have H. pylori infection, then antibiotics are used. There are multiple combinations of antibiotics that are taken for one to two weeks along with a PPI. Some doctors also recommend taking Pepto-Bismol.
H2 blockers will also help to decrease the acid already in the stomach- tagament, zantac, etc

Ulcers are no fun! Get help asap.

The first thing you need is a proper diagnosis. Ulcers are generally caused by the H-pyloric bacteria and need an antibiotic to clear it up. See your doc to be sure this is what you have.

I'm not sure what type you have, but for a mouth ulcer, try crushing an aspirin in cup of warm salt water and gargle with it.
