Read your query.
Underlying infection in the root canal treated tooth is the most probable cause of the swelling and discharge in the tooth.It is Reinfection in the treated tooth.
I would advice you to visit your endodontist and have it reviewed followed by a radiograph .If required , have the root canal treatment redone .Scar if present will heal naturally .
Do salt water gargling.
Hope this was helpful .
Thanks and regards .
