Root Canal/ Gum Infection
Updated
Tiffany Says:
Started out with a gum infection and started taking amoxicillin 2 days ago. Went to the dentist and found out I had a root infection under my crown. He said he fixed that today and just take Tylenol since I'm pregnant. However, few hours later and I'm still in severe pain and can't touch the tooth. Is it normal for the actual tooth to hurt this much still? I figured I'd get a little relief.

It may take a few days for all of the symptoms of the infection to go away, according to NIH reports, as well as my own experience.
Are you still taking the antibiotic? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.
Has there been any change? If not, you may need to return to your dentist.
