Horseness: If you are having difficulty breathing you need to go to and emergency room now or call 911. If it is just hoarseness you need to see a ear nose and throat doctor.

Go to ER: You may have a serious infection with a dental origin. It can lead to a potentially life threatening condition called ludwig's angina. If you're gasping for air, seek immediate attention.
