Does having canker sores cause sore throats and fevers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Canker sores: Canker sores do not cause sore throat or fever. If you have a sore throat and fever along with an outbreak of sores in your mouth or on your lips, they are probably cold sores, which is caused by the herpes labialis virus.

The day i developed a canker sore on my lip, i woke up in the middle of the night shivering and felt like I had a very high fever and aches. The fevers gone, but now I have more sores on my throat and lip, and feel lethargic. Should I be concerned?
