Tooth still hurts after root canal
I got a root canal done 3 days back. My tooth still hurts, though it's a numb pain. I could feel my pulse in the tooth yesterday. when there's even the slightest pressure on the tooth, the pain shoots up. is this expected or is something wrong?

Consult your dentist to relieve the pressure on your tooth by adjusting your bite. The pain will resolve much faster after that. Take an anti inflammatory like tablet Combiflam

Do not worry. Sometimes the may be some discomfort for a few days after Root Canal treatment. Wait for a few days. If it does not subside then visit your dentist again. Also if you have some xrays you could put them up.

It does happen it takes some time for the inflammation to subside after root canal
Keep taking the prescribed medicines and wait for another 3-4 days
Still if it doesn’t resolve then you can visit your dentist to get it checked
