How Can A Tooth Abscess Be Treated?

I had an abscess in a upper tooth late last year and had a root canel and put on anitbodics. Yesterday I felt the bubble on the roof of my mouth and sent and seen the dentist today. Took xray and infection still there. Am being sent to an endontics dentist on April 12. Now this afternoon I have a nose bleed on that side of my nose where the infection is. Is this normal or not.
