   Go back to the dentist now! My sister had some kind of funky infection that sounds like what you are describing - it can be very dangerous. Call your dentist NOW!

   Your more then likely still fighting off the infection. If you start to swell, and the fever continues. I would contact the dentist again. Right now sounds like they are waiting for you to get the anitbotics in your system.

   It is not right. You should not have any pain and should not need antibiotics. Go to another doctor without much delay because an infected tooth can give a lot of bad problems [complications: regional or systemic infections]. It should be a relatively easy fix by a good dentist.

   I work for an endodontist “root canal specialist” if a general dentist did your root canal I would suggest you see an endodontist for his/her expertise. Soreness and discomfort is normal sometimes up to two weeks after the treatment but swelling and sever pain is not.

   #1 Rule-When in need of a Root Canal always see a Endodontist!! I worked for a Endodontist for 7 years and you would not believe the retreats we did. Endodontist have the proper equiptment and are specialized in that field, a good microscope is always a good thing!!
