The pain should subside generally after an RCT. But if it stills persists. Either the infection is persistent which may require re intervention and medications .

Please make sure the tooth is not in the bite. Wait and watch for a few days. Please get a crown fixed once pain subsides. If pain persists, please consult a root canal specialist
