Can throat ulcers be a symptom of mold exposure?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: More likely a viral infection - coxsackie viruse causes herpangina with fever and ulcers on the soft palate and throat.

Unlikely: Throat ulcers are more commonly due to viruses or reflux. Mold would cause swelling and mucus congestion if one is allergic to mold.
