Health Queries

I have inflammation in my neck due to a toothache. What should I do?

Dr. S Aneela

Neck inflammation from a toothache usually means the infection is spreading from the tooth, so it should not be ignored. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, keep the area clean, and avoid pressing the swelling. Consult a dentist as soon as possible to get proper treatment and prevent further problems.
