Is Swelling In Mouth Normal From Canker Sore?
Is it usual to have swelling in the mouth neck and jaw with pain from a canker sore?? I have rheumatoid arthritis as well with painful joints often and when I get stressed I get these cankers on the sides of my mouth it's just this time it's affecting my neck and jaw line. Will antibiotics help the cankers go away?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
No actually canker sore does not cause this kind of swelling of mouth and jaw. It can be possible that you might be having some infection of jaw bone or throst.
Better that once you should visit a good dentist and get complete examination done with other investigation.
And for canker sore you can start with multivitamin capsule once daily and topical anesthetic ointment there is no need of antibiotics for it.
Hope it will help you.
