Are you having sores in the mouth?
If so these could be athphous ulcers:

Or if you are on alot of antibiotics may be Candida.
Candida can be treated with nystatin.
I don't see why your doctor will not treat these! They are very painful and can get infected! The suggestions on Wiki are very good, and do work for most people.
I'd add zinc supplements to the list myself.
Cold sores on the lips are easily treated
1) OTC with Abreva ointment
2) Zovirax or Denavir ointment + 4 Valtrex tablets short course.
