<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I completed a root canal today and I m in pain. I was taking a capsule of ibuprofen 200mg paracetamol 325mg and caffeine 30mg for the pain took 3 capsules today along with amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 200mg. I wasn t feeling better so I took aceclofenac 100mg took 2 tabs today at 6 hour intervals. The pain still hasn t reduced. Please help  <response>: Hello there... Pain after root canal treatmentRCT is common...it usually lasts for 1-2 days following RCT... If your age is above 14 years, metronidazole-200 mg insufficient...400 mg should be taken thrice daily...for a period of 5 days... If pain persists for more than 3 days of RCT get a X-ray done just to confirm the aptness of RCT... It can be managed...Dont worry... Diclofenac should be taken only twice a day...100 mg with an interval of 12 hours will do...if pain persists consult your dental surgeon...
