Hello sir....
your history seems the teeth may have re infection due to improper root canal treatment.... x-ray(IOPA) has to be taken to check for reinfection...if reinfection is ruled out then re root canal treatment has to be done ....
Next Steps

Pain after root canal treatment can be due to various factors. If bleeding is there from the associated gums, go for scaling and root planing that will clean the deposits around the tooth. still if pain persists and is severe in nature, get an x-ray done to plan re-rct or extraction.

Pain and flare up after root canal procedure is caused by several factors. Endodontic flare up does not indicate treatment failure or the need to extract the tooth. Kindly visit your doctor for symptomatic treatment.
