It is important to be aware of signs and symptoms that may indicate a complication or infection. Watch out for any excessive swelling, redness, or warmth in the neck area, as these could be indicative of an infection. Additionally, if you experience severe pain, prolonged numbness, or tingling sensations, it could be a sign of nerve damage. Other concerning signs include fever, chills, or drainage of pus from the incision site. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is crucial to contact your surgeon immediately for further evaluation and guidance.
