Suggest Treatment For Teeth Pain After Root Canal Treatment

hi I had a sharp pain in my tooth. Based on the X_Ray Dr could not realize anything wrong in the tooth with pain. Instead, he did a root canal on another tooth that was close and could be the reason of pain. However, I had constant pain for a week. Then after a while the pain reduced. Now, I feel some when I bite something (but considerably less pain when not biting). Do You think my tooth might have cracks? Is it ok if I postpone treatment for a while like 6 months?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the root canal treated tooth can be because of the infection in the gums or it can be secondary to crack or it can be because of the high points. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated, mean while you can take antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic) and diclofenac for the pain. If there is a gum infection, you need to get your teeth cleaned.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
