I have been taking actonel for about 6 months now and just started having these symptoms in the last six weeks or so. I have been to the dentist and there are no dental problems. The dentist recommended gargling with peroxide/water which I tried, which hasn't helped much.
Can taking actonel cause burning and swelling in the mouth?
