Could Canker Sores In Mouth Be The Cause For Fever And Swelling In Throat?

about a week ago my girlfriend developed canker sores in her mouth, and then she spiked up a 102 fever and her throat was swelling up. We were at the hospital for 5 hours and the doctors and nurses could barely tell us anything. So does anybody have any idea on why canker sores can cause swelling of the throat and fevers?
