Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms it seems you are suffering from Apthous ulcer or canker sore and it can be due to excess of citrus drinks or foods..
Nothing to worry do soda bicarb gargles..
In case if even soda bicarb not possible do warm saline gargles..
You can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen for relief from pain and inflammation..
For localized relief from pain you can apply a numbing gel containing Lignocaine..
Avoid hot and spicy foods..
Suck on ice pops and do cold water rinses..
Hopefully you will resolve in 4 to 5 days..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
