Yes, canker sore (aphthous ulcer) can be an adverse effect of arcoxia (a COX-2 inhibitor). You can use local anesthetic gel (teething gel for kid) before eating for less pain. Vitamins have no role in treatment of canker sore.

You don't need pills. You need a diagnosis. Please see your General Practitioner or an ENT specialist for examination, accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment plan. Please stop trying to practice medicine without a degree. See a physician.
