Are swollen glands commonly associated with canker sore outbreaks?

I live in China in a relatively remote area. Recently (over the past two months) I've had three outbreaks of canker sores accompanied by swollen lymph nodes and fatigue. The swelling and discomfort has always lasted for a day or two and goes away. I have been under some work related and personal stress lately to which I attribute the canker sore outbreaks, but the swollen glands have me a bit concerned. It is very inconvenient to get to a doctor to have things checked out. Does anyone else commonly get swollen glands along with canker sores? Thanks for the help.

Was able to get to a dentist over the weekend who told me that the swollen glands were a result of a secondary infection to the canker sores and not to worry about them so long as they didn't get any bigger and went away after the canker sore outbreak ended.

out breaks of Herpes Simplex can be associated with stress on the body due to infection

Nope, I've never heard of canker sores being associated with any other body ailment. You might want to seriously get that checked out.

I don't know about that, but swollen glands are associated with mumps.

The swollen lymph nodes are a reaction to an infection, the same thing happens with impitigo, go see a doctor.

well no cancker sores but i did have swollen glands once, a week after i got it i went to the dr and they just gave me penisilen and i went away but they didnt come back or anything.

These symptoms could be indicative of early stage autoimmune disease (like lupus). If this continues, despite the dentist's info, please travel to see a qualified physician for a complete workup.
