Pain after RCT
I am undergoing root canal treatment for (R) first molar 46. After my second session, after the dentist claims to have cleaned all the roots, I suddenly start to have lot of severe pain in the tooth. I am taking Kerotol DT to manage the pain from last two days but when I stop the pain medication, the pain just reappears. The dentist is in a different town 500 km away, so I cannot go back immediately. What treatment options do I have now
