thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the pain in the root canal treated tooth could be because of endodontic flare up..usually it occurs on the next day after RCT. it will go in twoo days..nothing to worry, complete the course of antibiotic and analgesics...if the pain persists then consult your physician...i hope my answer will help you..confirm the treatment by taking a radiograph wether the RCT is done properly..
I find this answer helpful
