Their is a difference between epulis and parulis: Epulis is a tumor like enlargement on the gingiva. Parulis is gumboil (it contains collection of pus).
Generally in a RC treated tooth if their is recurrence of the infection, a gumboil on the gum occurs which is an abscess.
Without picture or radiographs it's hard to differentiate and give advice!!
Next Steps
1.Visit your nearby dentist.
2.Get a Radiograph done for the tooth for exact diagnose of the condition.
Health Tips
1.lukewarm salt water rinse.

Get xray of tooth. Re-rct of tooth has to be done if required. Take antibiotics along with analgesics to relieve pain and swelling. You can consult through this for prescription of medication.
