I had a root canal done yesterday. I am in severe pain. My gums all around the root canal are bruised, my throat hurts, my head hurts, even my eye hurts. I am also experiencing confusion, chills/hot flashes and very bad nausea. I am worried that this tooth was more infected than they thought and possibly the infection is spreading. please help
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorRoot canal treatment is just the removal of infected pulp and replacement of it my artificial means. If you think all these symptoms are due to RCT which is not possible then you should get IOWA X-ray done of that done tooth again which will reveal amount of infected pull left. Thank you
