Throat: The dental nerve also called your trigeminal nerve can refer pain to that area. Could also be from teeth trauma to that area. Suggest you see your dentist.

Not usually: Typically, the pain is localized to the area of the sore. There could be a referred pain to the area you state if the lesion was sufficiently deep.
