NEED AN EVALUATION: I believe that you must be seen by a doctor as there is a possible infection. In the meantime you can gargle with very warm salt water. Drink some hot tea with raw honey and take and anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen. But if a bacterial infection you will need an antibiotic most likely.

Medical & Nutrition: "Perfect dental health" means not only teeth but also other tissues like joints, throat, tongue, muscles, etc. Over 2 weeks of sore throat is concerning, and canker sore is often related to nutritional deficiency like Vitamin B (B12), folate, zinc, iron, etc. If you're taking enough nutrients, you may still be unable to absorb if you have MTHFR gene mutations/infection. Consult MD/ENT, etc.
