Can valtrex cause viral pharyngitis? i have 5 tiny canker sore like ulcers on one tonsil. symptoms appeared two days after starting pill.

No, Valtrex does not: cause viral pharyngitis. Most likely, the sores you are seeing are from the infection you are treating with the Valtrex. The Valtrex takes some time to begin working & the sores may have already been starting at a sub clinical level. If they are continuing, please see your doctor.
