[|Human|] I had root canal surgery done about 2-3 weeks ago. It was fine for a little while but then my tooth started to hurt, so i used whiskey to numb the pain. I left it on too long and it burned my gums. Now my cheek and gums are swollen, but i can also feel pain in the roots of the tooth. Do you think the swelling is caused by an infection, or the burn. Thanks,Dom
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Please note that that swelling could be due to the infection in adjacent tooth or the treated tooth itself. Please do not apply whiskey or any such solutions. It requires a dental visit and clinical examination. In case required you will have to go for re root canal.Therefore, see your dentist soon. For now, you can take painkillers until you see your dentist. Thanks. Take care.
