<human>: I got root canal done in 2 sittings. The 2nd sitting was on Sept 1, 2012 and have called for capping to be done on this thursday (Sept 13). Though after first sitting I didn,t experienced any pain or discomfort, but 2 days after the 2nd sitting, I m feeling pain and discomfort in surrounding area (For 2 days I was prescribed Esgipyrin). What is the reason? Can I continue with Esgipyrin till my next sitting? Moreover, I feel rough and uneven surface at the back of my tooth which is very annoying when felt with tongue . What is the reason for the rough surface? Will it be overcomed by capping?
<bot>: Hello there, Thanks for writing your query. Pain after root canal treatment indicates few remnants still left in the affected tooth which need to be clean. So I would suggest you visit back to your dentist and get thorough clinical examination and x-ray of the same tooth and adjacent teeth to be done to rule out the cause of pain and take a symptomatic treatment, if pain is in the same tooth, it needs re-root canal treatment. Hope this will be helpful. Take care
