Hello,
Report your symptoms to your dentist. Your dentist may want you to switch to a more effective antibiotic. Take antiinflammitory medication. Advil or Tylenol is effective. You should continue with the root canal and eliminate this source if infection. Your infection can spread and produce systemic symptoms . Keep your dentist informed and return for an appointment soon.
Thank you for your inquiry.
