Pain increased after third RCT sitting
I had a ongoing RCT of my molar started on (28th-july)first sitting, (29th-july)second sitting,(4th-aug)third sitting because i am only able to get time on weekends. But after my third sitting the pain in the molar and ita surroundings become intolerable so i again consult the doctor and he removed the temporary filling and inserted cotton and asked me that it will be fine now, but even after that the pain is still very bad. I do not understand that is there something wrongly done by the doctor or something else happned. I searched internet and found several possible issue like missed canal etc. Please suggest me what to do, should i consult any other doctors or it is normal or not.

Your canal is not missing, because if canal is missed then you have started pain after first sitting. You should again consult with your dentist. It may be normal.
Next Steps
You should gargle with Warm water and salt 4to5times In a day and take prescribe medicine given by your doctor.

Is your root canal completed? Pain during the root canal is not something to worry about. You can check with your doctor to relieve the pressure on that tooth. If the pain persists even after 2 weeks from completion of root canal then an X-ray should be done and you can consult an endodontist if required
