<human>: I had a root canal done on tooth 3 a week ago. Immediately after, the gum around the tooth was very irritated & scratched. Now the area right behind it, along the roof of my mouth, headed towards my throat is red, sore, and there is a white spot. I also have a sore throat. Is this related to the root canal?
<bot>: Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, You have mentioned that you have undergone root canal treatment 3 weeks ago and after treatment of 3 weeks now you have sore throat no I don't think it is related to your root canal treatment I will suggest you that you take antibiotic course for three days take Tablet Definite 250 mg twice daily, one vitamin B complex once daily, and you can apply ointment Gum paint twice daily on painful Gums, and do warm saline gargle two-three times a day you will get relief and then if your problem continues then consult physician Hope this will help you.
