Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Pus from the tooth and the swelling in the gums suggests reinfection in the root canal treated tooth and formation of an abscess.

If I were your treating dentist ,I would advice a radiograph and if all was favorable would proceed with the re root canal treatment followed by a crown.

Antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg along with Metrolag will be beneficial.
Salt water gargling can be done.

I would advice you to visit your local dentist and have it treated as early as possible.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
