Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

I can understand your predicament. The pain is due to the reinfection of the root canal tooth.

I would advice you to:

*Continue with the medication and visit your dentist as soon as possible.

* Get a radiograph done and proceed with the removal of crown.

* Get the appropriate retreatment done.

*Do warm saline gargling.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
