Visit your dentist. Explain him what is happening.  Take an X ray to confirm whether things are fine.  Taking medicines simply won't help.  The cause of the problem has to be addressed.
Next Steps
Opinion from an orthodontist would be helpful

Need to recheck the rct. If done improperly may need to be redone. Pls get an opinion from a experienced endodontist and not from a dental surgeon. sometimes re-rct needs to be done or apicectomy procedure.
Next Steps
