A member asked:

If you had ludwigs angina what would happen first seeking under the tounge or seeking under the chin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Severe pain: I'm not sure what the question is, but this severe head and neck infection typically causes high fevers and severe pain on the area of the infection. If you think something is wrong, see your doctor today, or go to an urgent care center or ER. Hope this helps!
