Done Partial Root Canal. Taken Antibiotics. Tongue Pain. Unable To Sleep. Help

I had a partial roof canal done yesterday morning. I m 8 1/2 months pregnant. It was abscessed so I have been on antibiotics for 2 weeks, they finally did the root canal. I was ok all day woke up to pain at 2 am. Do much that even when the side of my tongue rubs it it hurts, tooth brush hurts, I put my finger onto to see if temporary filling fell out and that hurt as well. Now I m back to being unable to sleep

It may be possible that the root canal is not yet properly done or it has some infection below. you need to undergo re root canal treatment , get it open and go for regular antibiotic dressings do decrease the infection. also get your root canal completed once your pregnancy is completed and not before it. it may be that there is some sharp portion of tooht which has rubbed against the tungue making it sore. get that rounded off. take some painkiller and antibiotics with consent of your gynaecologist as well.
