I would recommend a topical anaesthic gel like Benzocaine to use just before you eat to ease the pain while eating. Start a B-Complex supplement as it helps in faster healing. Vitamin B complex deficiency is one of the causes for canker sores. Although Generally antibiotics are not needed, Doxycycline mouth wash can help. Visit your dentist for the cracked teeth, they are the primary reason for the sores. Hope this helps. Thank you.
