Hello….
As i can see from the X-Ray both lower side of your first molar are RCT treated and the right side rct treated tooth showing infection more than the left side…
Firstly as you said you don’t have constant pain just tenderness while touching so start with a antibiotic course for 5 days and observe after 5 days if tenderness on pressure has gone ,if it still persist go for a Re-RCT treatment of the affected tooth.
See as for future if this root canal treatment failure happens the best option for your tooth left is to get it removed and put an implant on its place.
But i think a re-RCT will do the work if antibiotics course will not subscide the infection and tenderness on pressure .
Next Steps
Start with a 5 days antibiotics course.
