Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Sores in mouth can be due to a number of causes like canker sores, cold sores caused by viral infection, allergic reaction etc..

But they commonly heal within a period of 1-2 weeks..

If the sores are present since 5 months and are not showing any signs of healing then you should immediately consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

A biopsy can be done for confirmation of the exact nature of lesions..

For now take Vitamin B complex and lysine supplements and do warm saline gargles..
Gargle with soda bicarb solution in water..
Avoid spicy and irritant foods.

Hope this helps..

Regards.
