What should I do for worsening, severe pain when touching a tooth that had a root canal two years ago and the gum underneath, especially since medications like Zerodol SP, Amox 500 mg, and Ketrol DT are not providing any relief?
Since the pain is worsening two years after your root canal and hurts to touch, there may be a persistent infection or a crack in the root that medications like amoxicillin, aceclofenac (Zerodol SP), or ketorolac (Ketrol DT) cannot resolve on their own. Please schedule an urgent appointment with your dentist or an endodontist. They will need to take an X-ray to check beneath the gumline. For temporary relief, you can apply a cold compress to your cheek. Please avoid taking further unprescribed medications.
