Retreatment should be attempted in that tooth and then the response evaluated. You can consult a good endodontist

Hello, first of all a radiograph of that tooth has to be taken for better treatment option. After that according to radiographic findings, proper antibiotic coverage has to be followed.Then only it would be decided for re- RCT.
