Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
please do not get worried about the recurrent swelling in your child's mouth.just ask him to do warm saline rinses and give the required dosage of antibiotics.
As in children due to multiple caries it is difficult to create complete aseptic field and do root canal treatment.Therefore you can see your dentistand get the older filling removed and get the RCT redone.This should help.
Thanks.
Take care.
