It could be any number of things that are easy to cure. If the sores have been there longer than 2 or 3 weeks then its time to see a professional. Look for an ENT who specializes in oral cancer (Im not saying thats what it is so dont worry). An ENT like that will be the most experienced with looking for abnormalities and knowing what to do with them (biopsy).

Hope its nothing serious! Best wishes!
