HiT hanks for the query. If you have a deviated nasal septum, then it is possible that pain in the gum is not due to some problem after the root canal. Deviated nasal septum can lead to recurrent sinus infection and inflammation. It can also cause facial pain. Although, if there is an infection below the root tips of the root canal treated tooth it can also lead to pain in gum region and can radiate over the sinus region and the face. Therefore, it is important that you consult your treating dentist and get evaluated. In case, if there is an infection either an antibiotic course like Augmenting 625 mg thrice a day or Retool DT one tablet dissolved in one fourth glass of water four times a day and Pantoprazole 40 mg once a day empty stomach will help. All has to be taken for 7 days, and it will help. If the pain does not subside re-root canal treatment can be attempted. But in case if there is no infection in tooth then you have to consult an ENT expert and get evaluated. Get treated for the deviated septum and Rhinoplasty can be done. Hope this helps. Regards.
