What Is Ludwig's Angina?
4. Neck Pain
It’s not uncommon for people to wake up in the morning and have a pain in their neck. When this does happen, it is usually down to the patient having slept at an awkward angle. The pain will often last for just a day or two, but sometimes longer. If the pain is more persistent, however, it might be down to a condition like Ludwig’s angina.
In addition to pain in their neck, patients with Ludwig’s angina are also likely to find that their neck becomes red and swollen. Another potential symptom of the condition is an earache. People showing these symptoms should be sure to speak with a doctor as soon as they are able to.
