After RCT puss deposit again & pain

Yesterday I had RCT after pus was cleaned. Before the procedure, I had severe pain, a 103°F fever and high BP. I started Metrogyl 200 and Augmentin 1g twice daily. On Day 2, the pain reduced a lot, but at night it returned with a 100°F fever. Now I see new, painful pus/swelling on another side of the treated area. My dentist advised warm salt-water rinses and very gentle finger massage. Is this normal after RCT, or could it mean a new abscess or spreading infection? Is gentle massage safe? How often should I rinse? Since I had a 103°F fever yesterday and fever has returned today with new pus, should I see my dentist urgently? What symptoms need emergency care?

Dental bridge pain

I have had a dental bridge for 15 years replacing the last 3 teeth on the left side, as the middle tooth (molar) was extracted. It developed sensitivity a few weeks ago. No infection was shown on the X-rays, but my dentist performed an RCT on my last abutment tooth. Post-RCT, I still had mild sensitivity lasting for 2 days which turned into pain on the 3rd day. I took Keterol DT for the pain and the pain subsided and didn't return for the next week. So he took measurements and fitted my new bridge the day before yesterday, telling me I should feel no pain, but I keep having pain in the tooth where the RCT was done and it aggravates even when food or the opposite tooth touches that part of the bridge. I am seriously devastated and scared.

Tmd without pain but sound present

I accidentally had a retracting habit of jaw for a month in which I had swayed opening towards the opp side clicking on each opening (only on left )and tightness and spasms but now it's been 10 days since I've stopped it and the sway spasms tightness and pops have vanished. Now I only have some occasional opening pops which are dull but my main concern is that my left side feels uncoordinaated while chewing and it feels like the left side sinks when I clamp down though this sinking feeling itself has gone down by a lot and now I can naturally hold my normal centered position. Also the symptom I fear is that somedays I wake up with a jaw that catches when I open. I am able to prevent this by sleeping mindfully on my right side. I have no pain whatsoever and opening is unrestricted and clcikings are only present infrequently while chewing. I am confused on what's going on with me please help. I visited a maxillofacial surgeon while retraction habit and told me not to worry
