Hello,

It can either be due to severe inflammation in mouth leading to aphthous stomatitis also causing canker sores. It can be a side effect of medication or due to long-term illness. Other cause can be a viral infection causing cold sores. So my suggestion is to consult an oral physician and get evaluated. For now,
-Start taking vitamin B complex supplement daily for at least a month.
-Also, take Lysine supplements along with it.
-You can gargle with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine.
-Avoid spicy and acidic foods.
-Drink plenty of water.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
