Conservative therapy: These may be viral sores. I suggest conservative therapy as follows: warm water gargles, Zinc lozenges ( Cold-Eze ) Advil (ibuprofen) as needed for pain and dark brown honey with mixed in tea or swallowed .

Canker sores: Treatment usually isn't necessary for minor canker sores, which tend to clear on their own in a week or two. Over-the-counter pastes, creams, gels or liquids may help relieve pain and speed healing. Lignocaine gel, Orabase paste, Antiseptic mouth rinses containing hydrogen peroxide. Large, persistent or unusually painful sores with fevers need medical care and prescribed meds containing steroids

Oral sores: A few possibilities: aphthous ulcers, herpes vesicles or a few others. Gargle salt water three times a day for now, if it doesn't resolve in 1-2 weeks see a doctor
