After RCT puss deposit again & pain
Yesterday I had RCT after pus was cleaned. Before the procedure, I had severe pain, a 103°F fever and high BP. I started Metrogyl 200 and Augmentin 1g twice daily.
On Day 2, the pain reduced a lot, but at night it returned with a 100°F fever.
Now I see new, painful pus/swelling on another side of the treated area. My dentist advised warm salt-water rinses and very gentle finger massage. Is this normal after RCT, or could it mean a new abscess or spreading infection? Is gentle massage safe? How often should I rinse? Since I had a 103°F fever yesterday and fever has returned today with new pus, should I see my dentist urgently? What symptoms need emergency care?
Hlo mam….if u will share picture here then it will be helpful for us to guide u appropriately.
Such situation can happen in cases if the infection has not gone properly and further treatment has started.
U should see your dentist asap.
Get the examination done and then further treatment.
If u have any visible swelling of your face then that need urgent care….if not no need to worry it will be healed once all the sittings of rct will be completed.
And yes there is no harm in doing gentle massages.
U should rinse 3-4 times in a day.
Next Steps
See your dentist asap and if possible kindly share the pictures.
