Canker Sores Complications

Oral thrush or other Candida infections may occur following the use of antibiotic treatment for cankers
Rarely, secondary bacterial infections may occur (cellulitis, Ludwig's angina)
Oral cancer is not a complication of canker sores, but if an ulcer lasts more that 2 weeks, cancer may actually be the cause of the ulcer. Therefore, any ulcer lasting over 2 weeks should be evaluated by a physician.
