What Causes Bleeding From Mouth With RA?
My husband is on several medications for RA. This morning he was in the hot tub and when he got out he walked into the kitchen to get something to drink and just started bleeding from the mouth. Out of both corners of his mouth. Of course he did not notice he was bleeding until it was all down the front of him and on the floor. I got him cleaned up and I can find nothing. No wounds no cuts nothing. He is wondering if it is the methotrexate NA 2.5MG Tab. He takes 8 tablets once a week. He has taken this for years, the doctor did just increase tablets from 7 to 8 last month. He gets in hot tub 2 times a day.
