Wisdom Tooth & beside RCT Tooth Pain
I’m having pain in my wisdom tooth as well as the tooth next to it, which already has an RCT. I’m not sure whether I should get both removed or only the wisdom tooth. Also, please let me know if any surgical treatment is needed for the RCT tooth. I’ve attached the X-ray for reference.

Your age is 24 years( wisdom tooth erupt by 17 to 21 years only) ,there is no chance of eruption of wisdom tooth
I also noticed that wisdom tooth is culprit for infection,it mesioangularly placed it will cause food impaction,so secondary caries in adjacent tooth.
Re root canal treatment is done and surgical extraction of wisdom tooth should be carried.
If there is recurrent swelling after this, extraction of adjacent tooth also be done.
Next Steps
you should visit oral and maxillofacial surgeons clinic
Health Tips
don't take self medication.proper oral hygiene should be maintained

The Xray reveals caries /decay in both the wisdom tooth and the second molar in front of it .Also there is a big cystic lesion with infection and bone loss noted irt to the second molar.
Re root treatment will not resolve that big an infection!
Extraction of second molar and surgical removal of wisdom teeth is the only choice here, along with debridement .
Next Steps
Consult an Oral &Maxillofacial Surgeon

Hello,
kindly get a CBCT to get a more accurate extension of the infection with the tooth in front of the wisdom tooth.
It would also help in determining the nerve position in regards to the wisdom tooth and the infection as well.
The wisdom tooth does require extraction, whether RCT or extraction of the tooth in front of the wisdom tooth would be determined by the extension of the infection,may require surgical removal of the infection.
Next Steps
Get a CBCT
