Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you had root canal treatment and gum infection of a tooth post root canal treatment. This is very common to have infection, pain a few days after root canal . This pain occur due to infection , which left under the tooth even after the root canal . This infection sometimes travel in the blood stream to various part of the body. So i would suggest you to consult dentist. Dentist may do root canal again or extract the tooth depending upon the extent of infection. Capping can be done after infection subsides properly. Maintain oral hygiene. Go for scaling and root planning of tooth.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
