Brief Answer:
may be due to remaining Root piece.

Detailed Answer:
Hello xxxxxxxxxx,

Welcome again .


I have gone through your answers. Pain can be due to remaining broken root piece that has been left out or Nerve injury. For this I will suggest you to do warm saline rinses 2 to 3 times a day . You can apply gum paint on gums with help of pulp of your finger and gently massage your gums . Avoid hot and spicy food . You can also take anti inflamatory drug like Ibugesic plus or Ketrol dt by consulting with local doctor .
If you wont get relief then I recommend you to consult oral surgeon for Intraoral periapical xray for proper diagnosis and treatment .

Hope I have answered your query .
If you have further query I will be happy to help .
