How much pain is normal after a root canal?!


Question: How much pain is normal after a root canal?
I got a root canal on Monday. I was sore on Tuesday & Wednesday, especially if I chewed on that side so I tried to avoid that. Today the pain woke me up. It hurts constantly, not just when I'm eating. The pain radiates up to my cheek and nose. Advil and Tylenol are barely taking the edge off the pain. Is this normal? The root canal doc did not put me on antibiotics.

Answers:

I've had several root canals and I can tell for sure that is not normal for you to still have pain. You have an infection. Go back to the 'root canal' doc and inform him/her and they will prescribe antibiotics to clear it up.
