Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you have mentioned that you got root canal treatment done and now you are observing pus in the same region, it means that the root canal has not been done properly or the adjacent tooth is also infected.
As root canal treatment means the infection will be healed and no pus discharge will be there if still pus discharge is there it means a re treatment should be done of the tooth to relieve the infection.
You should visit your dentist again and get it treated.
Hope it will help you.
