Suggest Medication To Control Pain Post Root Canal Treatment

I had a root canal performed a week ago Tuesday. Afterwards I was in considerable pain. They told me this was normal and could be because the temporary filling was set too high. I returned to the dentist yesterday for my temp crown, and they said again, the pain should subside now that the temp. filling is out. A day later I am still in pain with even the slightest pressure applied to the tooth.Both the specialist that performed the root canal and the dentist that fit me for the crown say the tooth looks normal. Is this common? My worry is that when I go back for the permanent crown in another two weeks, the pain will still be there. Chewing is very difficult.ms

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that root canal treatment was done for the tooth and you are experiencing pain after that also it looks that root canal has not been done properly, as sealing of the canal of the tooth with temporary filling is done after the pain subsides.
You should visit some another dentist and ask him to take an x - ray, as in X - ray the condition will be cleared that whether the infection is still present or it is because of the high filling.
Hope it will help you.
