Welcome @blacksabbath, Mouth sores can be pretty miserable. There are a couple of other discussions where you can meet others with similar symptoms and learn what they have shared.
--- Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS): Anyone found any relief?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/burning-mouth-syndrome-2/
--- Sjogren’s Syndrome – Introduce yourself and meet others: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/sjogrens/.

Mayo Clinic has some treatment information that may be helpful here:
"How do you treat Sjogren's mouth sores?
Yeast infections in the mouth should be treated with antifungal medications. Treat systemwide symptoms. Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), a drug designed to treat malaria, is often helpful in treating Sjogren's syndrome. Drugs that suppress the immune system, such as methotrexate (Trexall), also might be prescribed."

Has your doctor suggested any treatments like antifungal medications to help with the sores?

It kinda looks like my Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid.
Very painful.

I have the auto immune disease lichen planus.
Your photo and symptoms appear to me to me that you might possibly have this autoimmune disease.
