A fistula after a root canal?
Hi all, I need some help please! I had a pretty bad toothache last week on the top and noticed a hard white bump above the tooth that was hurting. I went to the dentist and showed him the bump and he took x-rays and said I need a root canal. He put me on antibiotics and set up the root canal appt 4 days later. Well had the root canal and it went fine. Didn't even really have that much pain for about 3 days after the root canal. But it is now Day 4 and the tooth seems to hurt some now but the BUMP is twice larger and is so painful you don't even want to touch it, it even hurts to touch my face there while putting on makeup. I'm still on the antibiotics taking for a day! I plan to call the dentist after xmas if it is still hurting. Can anyone tell me why this bump seems to be getting worse after the root canal. Is it going to just go away or burst or what??
Please help with any info...
