Hi user thank you for posting your query. Pain after root canal treatment usually subside after proper filling of the canal and crown. But in your case it still persists there could per apical lesion .so to rule out you may need an x-ray done again. To see the act filling and infection or lesion below the root. If so you need to undergo reject and course of antibiotic along with painkiller (like cap.Inovalon LB 3 times a day after food, and same tablet tramadol 50). And skip not your routine medicine for HBP and diabetic. For further help mail back to us. Visit your nearby dentist. Warm Regards, Chat Doctor. Bangalore.
