Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Your root canal treated tooth is appearing re-infected and due to re-infection there is pain and swelling..
It looks like an abscess formation which is causing severe pain as pus does not have any escape way..
You can start taking antibiotics like Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid combination and along with it take painkillers like Ibuprofen and also serratipeptidases..
If pain is severe then higher painkillers like Tramadol or Ketorolac can be taken..
Do cool compresses over the swelling..
But this is not enough..
You should consult a Dentist soon and get evaluated so that an x ray can be taken and probably the root canal treatment has to be repeated..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
