Is it possible to have mouth sores with strep throat?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Strep throat: Mouth ulcers or canker sores are not usually a symptom of strep throat. However, having an infection such as strep throat can compromise your immune system, leading to other infections such as canker sores or herpetic gingivostomatitis, which is an infection from the herpes simplex virus.

It is possible: Canker sores are the most common oral lesions. Individual ulcers typically last 1-2 weeks. The condition is idiopathic (cause is not known) recurrent aphthous ulcers is usually self-limiting. Try to keep adequate oral hygiene as possible. If concerned see your dentist after 10 days or visit today for laser immediate amelioration.
