This is most likely an acute herpes stomatitis. This is an uncomfortable infection and there is oral systemic antiviral medication for it as well as viscous lidocaine to reduce some of the discomfort. See your physician or an ENT specialist for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Viral. Probably a primary Herpes Virus outbreak. Call your General Dentist or your General Physician, or visit Urgent Care. Note: This does not rise to the level of a trip to the Emergency Room.

I agree with previous replies; most likely cause is new herpes, likely acquired by kissing (probably HSV1) or oral sex (HSV2). Other non-sexually acquired viruses also are possible. Accurate diagnosis requries testing of the sores ASAP, ideally within a day or two. If it's herpes, treatment must be started very soon to be effective. So get care immediatley, e.g. urgent care or ER if necessary.
