[|Human|] I had a decay in a tooth and a dentist said I will need a root canal and replacement filling, then I went on holiday and when I can back I saw a different dentist who took the old filling out knocked on my tooth a bit which didnt hurt so he decided i didnt need a root canal and put a new filling in. This was 4 months ago.. and now that same tooth is hurting, i can feel my pulse in my tooth?! and really high up in my gums above the tooth its a bit swollen I think. I cant see a dentist until monday:( what is the problem and what should i do in the meantime xx
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The symptoms which you have written suggests the tooth is involved pulpally and because of this there is an abscess formation which has caused the swelling. I would suggest you to visit the dentist at as early you can and get the filling removed and root canal treatment to be initiated. Antibiotics like amoxicillin will be given to you if required by your dentist. For the pain, take ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicine). Do warm saline gargling. Hope this was of importance to you. Thanks and regards.
