Hmm: Sores in the mouth have various causes. Sometimes they are related to an infection, a virus, oral hygiene or just by dehydration. Try over the counter orajel and see your doctor for the best care in person.

Abcess: Sounds more like an abscess from a tooth than a canker sore. See your dentist.
