I suspect you're using the term cold sore incorrectly.

Cold sores are the herpes virus and typically show up on the outer lip.

I suspect what you have is recurring mouth ulcers which show up inside the mouth (these are not the herpes virus).

Chronic, recurring mouth ulcers are typically caused by two things

1 - Improper nutrition, or
2 - GI chronic condition that affects absorbtion of vitamins and minerals.

Bottom line you most likely need to eat more vegetables and fruit. If I were you I would see a doctor about it, though.
