[|Human|] Hey Sadia Here,Just had my first root canal treatment on my first molar and as the numbness wore down the pain began to come back, i took 2 diclomol and the pain has been relieved a bit, but will the pain come back before my next treatment or not ?Thank Youx
[|AI|]  Hello, It is not uncommon to have discomfort while having a root canal since you are in the process of treating an infection. You are taking an anti-inflammatory medication which I recommend that you continue to take for relief. In addition, I place my patients on an antibiotic when discomfort occurs with root canal therapy. If you just have sensitivity after the visit, it may be a simple soreness from being work on that should settle down in 24-48 hours. If pain continues or feels worse, I prescribe Amoxicillin 500 mg. Please contact your dentist to inquire about taking an antibiotic, dosage and length. Avoid chewing near the tooth. If you have a severe pressure building up, sometimes you need the temporary filling adjusted or removed to Chat Doctor.  Sometimes your bite will be reduced to not allow any pressure to be placed on the tooth as well. Your treating dentist will advise you. I hope my recommendations are helpful. Thank you for your inquiry.
