The dentist who has scheduled your treatment might have prescribed you an anti inflammatory and analgesic to reduce the pain before root canal treatment..The dosage and type of medicine can be suggested after examining the case..An anti inflammatory will work till the time you get your treatment started..Visit the dentist and get started with root canal treatment asap.

If u have an appointment with dentist he must have prescribed u with proper medications. If not then consult him again do not take any medicine over the counter as they may be allergic to you. Consult your dentist
