Arava And Mouth Pain?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Monroeville, NJ

Has anyone been on Arava and had mouth pain? I'm getting mouth pain, gum pain and even tooth pain. I feel welts in the skin inside my mouth. Just wondering what you did for treatment or if the doctor took you off it as a result. Going to call my doctor tomorrow. Thanks in advance.
