Brief Answer:
It is unrelated to root canal treatment.

Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. There is no direct relationship between root canal treatment and swelling of elbow. It may be swollen due to pressure over elbow during procedure. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief and swelling relief.Vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery. You may need x ray and further investigation if you have fever and swelling doesn't subsides.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
