Stomatitis: This is most likely a viral infection and is most uncomfortable. To help you swallow food gargling and swishing with viscous xylocaine (lidocaine) before you eat numbs the inflamed tissues. Discuss this with your physician.

Cold sores: Your symptoms describe what is probably a viral infection, not bacterial. Antibiotic therefore probably the correct treatment. There are antivirus, topical so, and anesthetic rinses that may help. Talk to your Dentist.
