Does Wisdom Tooth Extraction Cause Sore Throat?

i had my wisdom teeth pulled 3 days ago under Anestesa and since then my throat has been sore and I just recently looked in the back of my throat and there are white sores back there. The anastesia also made my lips crack and peel so Im wondering if this was a reaction to the medicine

The reaction is because you aren't having proper diet and also the medicines amoxycillin has a side effect on the stomach . So the ulcers are caused due to problems in stomach.
Use chlorhexidine to rinse your mouth along with warm saline gargle. Apply Vaseline jelly on lips.
