I get soars on my tongue and on the inside of my cheeks. Sometimes I will get the soars on both the inside cheeks and tongue at the same time and they will usually last for 2 weeks and start from being small then get big. Then they go away, and they come back, most usually they come back in a month.

I have the same thing. It could be from a number of things. Mine are mouth ulcers and are caused from food allergies, such as foods containing citric acid.
Symptoms
The symptoms of a mouth ulcer depend on the cause but may include:
A round sore or sores inside the mouth
Swollen skin around the sores
Tenderness
Problems with chewing or toothbrushing because of the tenderness
Irritation of the sores by salty, spicy or sour foods
Loss of appetite.
A range of causes
Mouth ulcers can be caused by a wide range of factors including:
Accidental biting of the cheek.
Injury from a toothbrush (such as slipping while brushing).
Constant rubbing against misaligned or sharp teeth.
Constant rubbing against dentures or braces.
Poor oral hygiene.
Burns from eating hot food.
Irritation from strong antiseptics, such as a mouthwash.
Oral thrush infection.

chances are, its herpes simplex (not being a smart ***).. most commonly called a cold-sore. everyone gets them from time to time. just let them run there course, or if they become painful, try orejel or something along those lines and see a doctor. but if they dont hurt, dont worry. the ones on your tongue may also be burst or burnt tastebuds.

They could come from burns on hot food or from accidentally biting the inside of your cheek or the tip of your tongue.

It could be a reaction to citrus drinks or food-my daughter would get sores every time she drank orange juice.
