Airway?: One of the most fear complication of lugwig angina is compromised airway. Go straight to the emergency room and have it check out! infection will kill us slowly, but compromised airway will definitely an acute emergency situation!

Possible TMJ: But so difficult to diagnose with no other info. You say your teeth are 'ok', but how do you know? Has a dentist recently examined you with radiographs? Either way give a local dentist a call for a consult. If you feel your tongue swelling (possible mandibular dental infection) go immediately to the er.. Ludwigs angina can close off your airway.

Answer to your ?: Thanks for all the information. However, without actually being able to personally and clinically examine you, along with seeing x-rays of your teeth and jaw, we can't diagnose your problem(s) nor advise you what treatment is necessary. You will have to consult with a local dentist to get those answers. If you already have and are not happy with your dentist, find another well respected dentist.
