What Is Ludwig's Angina?
5. Mouth Pain
There are different reasons why we might feel pain in our mouths, perhaps the most common reason for it is toothache. Another potential cause of pain in the mouth is Ludwig’s angina, which will be located in the floor of your mouth below the tongue.
In addition to the pain, the patient can also experience a swelling in their tongue. The swelling can be so significant that it causes the tongue to be forced up against the palate. This can make it a lot harder for the patient to eat and drink. It can also make it harder for some patients to breathe.
