Hello, It's normal to have mild pain and sensitivity after root canal. If the pain is unbearable or swelling something like that happens please visit doctor immediately.

Hi, A little pain is normal and will subside.If the intensity of pain keeps increasing then it could be something to worry about and consult your dentist.As for upcoming Holi weekend in case pain flares up take over the counter pain killers like ibuprofen.
