[|Human|] I had a root canal done 3 days ago. It was the very last upper molar on the right side. The tooth next too, second last molar is a root canal from 5 years ago as well. The second last upper molar is now hurting since the day after my last root canal. Symptoms are - bitting/ chewing on that side causes sharp pain, constant dull throbbing ache, and sensitive if I touch my tongue or finger with it. OTC dulls the pain for 1-2 hrs but no more and I never take meds. I have no medical issues and I am not taking any medications , perscription or OTC. Any ideas?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for your query. Pain and swelling can be due to re-infection of the tooth or due to food lodgment between the tooth and cap surface if the tooth is capped. I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get an x-ray done, if necessary you can go for the pretreatment of the tooth or else you can go for complete mouth scaling and polishing. Take antibiotics and analgesic course under prescription of your Dentist. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
