Severe tooth pain in a tooth next to one that has already had a root canal is often due to a new cavity, gum infection, or a problem with the surrounding tooth or bite, and it usually needs dental treatment rather than just medicines. While you can take a simple pain reliever for temporary relief and avoid chewing on that side, it is not advisable to start antibiotics like cefixime-clavulanate again without a dentist's evaluation, as they are only needed if there is a clear infection with swelling or fever. The most important step is to visit a dentist for examination and possibly an X-ray to find the exact cause. Treatment may include a filling, cleaning, or root canal if required. Seek urgent care if you develop swelling, fever, or worsening pain.
