Problem after RCT

2021-09-01 15:05:51
I am a 33 years old male (I don't smoke). After undergoing an RCT treatment in a molar teeth, I observed an unusual swelling in my gum (just adjacent to RCT teeth) has come up. It's more than 2 years now the situation is same (images attached). It's slightly painful when manually pressed by finger. What could be this?
