Canker sores in the throat are not contagious and they are not caused by a virus. One of the most painful types of canker sores you get is a canker sore in the throat. Canker sores in the throat usually occur as a result of allergy to either foods, or medicines or toothpaste ingredients. Canker sores in the throat can also occur as a result of local trauma, from dentures, bones or even pretzels. If you scratch or break the skin you can be prone to canker sores. Although the vast majority of canker sores in the throat cases are associated with no underlying illness, in a small percentage of cases, canker sores are indicative of a bodily (systemic) disorder.
