Hi
A root canal should only be left open for drainage for a maximum of 48 hours when associated with a facial swelling.
It should be irrigated with hypochlorite and dressed with non setting calcium hydroxide which is replaced every two weeks with the tooth closed until you can no longer detect infection.
Antibiotics are only to be used if you have an associated fever. Amoxicillin or metronidazole will be fine
