These sound like aphthous ulcers whose cause is unknown. I am surprised that he does not have a little bit of pain. Usually these become less of a problem with time and there is no treatment other than pain relief. Do NOT use aspirin or Bonjela, which also contains an aspirin-like substance. I presume that your son is otherwise well when he has these ulcers. If he is indeed unwell then he should see a doctor for diagnosis and management, as I can think of 10 or so causes for mouth ulcers. One possibility is an allergic cause. If so they would usually occur at a particular time of the year or exposure to certain substances.
However, aphthous ulcers are by far the most likely cause and they do no harm and disappear with increasing age.
