Going by the description that you have mentioned it seems that your root canal treatment was not done properly. Medications can be given to provide antibiotic coverage before procedures like RCT, but they do not cure the dental infections. A more rational opinion can be given to you if you upload the X-ray of the tooth. And you always have the option of going for a second opinion.
Regards.
