Complications

Antibiotic treatment for canker sores may lead to oral thrush (a type of mouth infection) or other Candida infections. Rarely, bacterial infections such as cellulitis[1] and Ludwig's angina [2] may occur. Canker sores are not cancer and don't lead to cancer, but if you have a mouth ulcer that lasts more than 2 weeks, you should see your doctor to rule out possible cancer.

Prognosis

Aphthous ulcers usually heal on their own. The pain usually decreases in a few days. Other symptoms disappear in 10 to 14 days.
