Brief Answer:
Use topical antibiotic.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The sores in mouth you are having are probably canker sores small painful ulcera in mouth.
Smoking and especially marihuana can cause them.
It is a good idea that you stop smoking.
I would prefer to see a photo of the cankers to see its conditions, you can upload a photo in reports.
Probably the canker you made bleed and now is yellow in middle I think it may be infected and the yellow part is pus.
I can suggest you to wash mouth well, rinse it with baking soda in water or salt water.
Then you can use topical antibiotics such amoxicillin.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
