Call your Dentist and report your symptoms. You may need modification of your treatment or referral to a root canal specialist, an Endodontist, especially if symptoms do not begin to abate by 72 hours post Rx.

It appears you still have an infection or at a minimum severe inflammation in that area. Antibiotics may be order, so call your dentist for further guidance.

Has the swelling and pain lessened. Since you did have an infection, make certain to complete the antibiotic regimen. Your Dr. should be keep abreast of your progress in healing. It is my hope that you will heal. Bear in mind that RCT is a surgical procedure. It will take some time to heal. Be blessed.
