Hello,Thank you for consulting with HCM.
According to your symptoms it looks that the root canal which was done in your tooth has not been done properly, the swelling and pressure on eye which you are mentioning can be the infection only which is progressing.
Better that once you should visit an Oral Surgeon get a full mouth X-ray done, which will show the complete area of infection.
After that he will start the treatment accordingly.
Hope it will help you.
