Hi..
Thanks for the query..
As per your description, in case if there is repeated injury in the area of sore then the first thing that needs to be done is to take utter precautions to prevent recurring injury as it will only worsen the condition..
So first of all, follow basic preventive remedies like take soft diet, avoid spicy and hard foods, do cool compresses over the sore and do cool water rinses..
Use a dilute solution of antiseptic mouthwash to gargle (which I believe you must be doing already)..
Now to relieve the sore faster, you can consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and s/he may advice you to take Vitamin B complex supplements and application of steroid oral paste for a faster relief..
In case, if it still does not heal, a biopsy from the affected area will be needed to confirm the nature of the sore, so that appropriate treatment can be advised..
Please feel free to write back for more queries..
Regards..
