Hello
Has the root canal treatment been finished or has it been just started for you sometimes tooth has severe infection and it takes time for the tooth to get back to normal. Just continue with the medicines if the pain is not getting relieved visit your concerned doctor he or she will prescribe you little stronger medicine or do some treatment for you so that the pain is relieved
It would be great if you can upload some photographs or specially x-rays for a better guidance

You can definitely get in touch with me. I am an Endodontist or a root canal specialist practising in New Delhi
