Brief Answer:
Neurontin unlikely to cause the mouth sores directly

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Mouth sores or Aphthous ulcers or canker sores can occur following antibiotic use, dental treatment, NSAID use, stress etc. Neurontin can cause a dry mouth leading to predisposition to mouth sores but its association with mouth sores directly is not found. If appropriate then You may upload an image of the sores to help you better.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
