No I dont think these drops are the reason for your canker sores. Canker sores can be due to any nutritional deficiency like low iron levels or deficiency of folic acid or vitamin B12. It can also occur due to stress, trauma and stoppage of smoking or due to certain foods.It is also fine for you to taste these drops in your mouth.
