Thanks for using health Care Magic.
Read your query.
If the root canal can be completed within the time period ,you can get ahead with it.Else you can continue it after your journey if and only the tooth is asymptomatic.
Antibiotics are to be continued as advised.Having a painkiller like ibuprofen (if not allergic to any medicine)handy would be a wise decision.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
