Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from throbbing pain after my root canal treatment. I was told that the pain will go away but it did not.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
There is a possibility that the root canals are still not cleaned and inflamed nerves are still present. Secondly, there is a possibility that there is pus formation below the root tips of the tooth, and when the tooth is filled up there is the pressure created by the pus due to lack of escape way leading to severe pain. The last reason can be any fracture in the tooth that has made it a poor prognosis tooth. So my suggestion is to consult an endodontist and get evaluated.
X-rays can be taken with different angulations to rule out the exact cause and treatment can be proceeded accordingly. As of now take higher painkillers like Tramadol or Ketorolac for pain relief.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
