Pain in tooth and gum
2 years back I had a root canal and since now it was perfectly alright but since 2 days I m feeling uncontrollable pain in touching my tooth and in the gum below that tooth .
I am talking zerodol Sp and cap amox 500 mg since yesterday but nothing is happening..
I took ketrol dt once when the pain control was troubling very much.
But now the situation is worsening
Please help and suggest some medicine

Hi,Post root canal if there is pain after 2 yrs it is most likely Root canal failure. It looks like there is a punctum too.. in which case there is pus accumulation due to which you have tenderness on touching.
Next Steps
Xray to be taken to see the status of root canal treated tooth.
Health Tips
if there is swelling associated, amox will not work , you will have to take higher antibiotics
-augmentin 625 mg twice a day for 5 days
- metrogyl 400 mg twice 5 days
as you are already taking penicillin I am ruling out allergy to penicillin.
