Hi. Thanks for the query. If you have been to Endodontist then it is a bit surprising that he incised and Chat Doctor.  Although Endodontist is a specialist in Root canal treatment. So my suggestion to you is to better refer another Endodontist only and get the Root canal treatment done. For now if pain is severe then you can take antibiotics like Amoxiclav along with stronger painkillers like Tramadol or Motorola. Do cool compresses over the hard lump under Chen that is a swollen lymph node secondary to tooth infection. Hope you get well soon. Regards.
