[|Human|] hi one of my teeth is really aching to the point where i am waking up with headaches. i had a fiiling repalced in this tooth, then the dentist thought i needed a root canal which i had and now it is hurting again. he is going to tell me too have it extracted, is this right?
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Was the root canal treatment completely, and how long is it since it's done? Severe pain associated with the root canal treatment usually suggests presence of underlying infection. I would advise you to visit your dentist and have it checked up. For the pain, ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicine) can be taken. Antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and Metro lag may be required on prescription. Based on the radiographic and clinical symptoms, a pretreatment of the tooth or any appropriate treatment needs to be done. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
