[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that due to infection in the root canal treated tooth there is pus formation below the root tips of the tooth forming a DENTAL ABSCESS which at times perforates the bone and gets accumulated in the soft tissues leading to appearance as a swelling. The swelling that you are experiencing is not a normal occurrence and is due to dental abscess formation. You should immediately get the tooth extracted, and the pus will get Chat Doctor. . It should be taken care of as if not treated on time can lead to Cellulitis and Facial space infections. Hope this information helps.
