Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood the history.
The sore are most probably ''Aphthous ulcers', very painful.
They are usually self limiting.
But if you have associated colitis or so, get a proper 5-day course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotic and symptomatic painkillers.
Take a therapeutic dose of Vitamin A and D.
Continue multivitamins.
