Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain In Mouth After Root Canal Treatment

Hi,

I had two root canals done yesterday(about 31hours ago). I am taking T#3 and my two teeth are still hurting. There is some swelling and My gums over the two teeth are purple, there is also some bleeding. I am grugling salt and icing my face. I am not sure if I should do anything about this or if it is normal. My mouth hurts. Please Help!

Hello

is your root canal complete or the doctor has called for next sittings?
are you taking any antibiotics also?

it may take 2-3 days for pain to subside.but if the pain is severe then you should consult your treating doctor.

generally the pain subsides soon after the completion of root canal therapy.

Hope this answer helps.

Regards
Dr. Shesh
