Be Concerned: See your dentist. It could be nothing but it could also be an abscessed tooth that requires treatment and antibiotics. The "canker sore" could be the abscess draining. Also, pathos ulcers are usually associated with stress (physical or emotional) and it is possible something else is causing both issues.

Be patient: Canker sore is the most common oral lesions. Individual ulcers typically last 1-2 weeks. Complications of canker sores can include fever, swollen glands, and feeling run-down. If concerned, see your doctor for evaluation.
