Dr. Salim Saab Otolaryngology (ENT)
We don't know if you are on antibiotics and what the pathology is. If you feel less pain, you are going to improve.

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
After a root canal, your lips and gums may remain numb for a few hours until the anesthetic wears off. Later you may have throbbing pain, which you can treat with pain medicines, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or a stronger prescription painkiller.The pain usually lasts only a day or two.
if your pain persists for more than 2-3 days after the surgery it might be of infection CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR to see if there is infection to order an antibiotic ,some doctors give antibiotics as a prophylaxis after the operation.
usually doctors give antibiotic before and after operation
