Is Sore Mouth Normal After Root Canal Treatment?

My mouth is really sore. Had root canal last week on top left but pain is in the front bottom along the bottom. Dr. thought prob sinusitis and gave me shot of Rocephin and Augmentin but so far it hasn't helped. Don't know if I should see my dentist tomorrow or give it a little more time. Looks like pooled blood in spots along the base of the bottom gum

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The soreness in the mouth particularly in the bottom teeth could be because of the gum infection secondary to deposits. It is not related to sinus infection.
Consult a oral physician and get it diagnosed and treated by getting your teeth cleaned. You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
