Dr. Dinh Bui answered

Keep it clean: A sore represents only the symptom. You must locate the underlying cause and treat them if possible. Palliative treatment for comfort includes keep it clean, rinse with warm salt water, swap with q-tip and salt water. Consult with your dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
