Hello,
The tooth might be infected. Please tell the medication you taking and did the pus stopped while you where on medication? Do you have any drug allergy?? For now avoid consumption of hot and spicy food.. If possible you can get an X-ray done. You can also consult online through text or video consult.

First of all you haven't mentioned about the medication you're taking.
Second if it is not subsiding with medication you need to visit your nearest dental clinic.
Third radiograph will be taken at the clinic and you may need re-RCT.
Next Steps
If possible please share your image of your mouth (1) Swelling (2) RC treated tooth
