I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing inflammation in your neck related to a toothache. This can happen when a dental infection or abscess spreads, causing swelling and discomfort in nearby areas like the neck.

Here’s what you should know:

• Cause: A tooth infection can lead to inflammation in the surrounding tissues, including lymph nodes in the neck, as your body tries to fight the infection.
• Symptoms to watch for: Increasing pain, swelling, redness, fever, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or spreading redness could indicate a serious infection.
• Immediate care: Applying a cold compress may help reduce swelling temporarily. Over-the-counter pain relievers can ease discomfort but won’t treat the infection.
• Important: This situation requires prompt evaluation by a dentist or an oral and maxillofacial specialist. They can diagnose the cause, possibly drain any abscess, and prescribe appropriate antibiotics if needed.

If you experience severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, high fever, or rapidly spreading swelling, seek emergency medical care immediately.
