I recently recieved root canal treatment but an abscess still remains 4 days after. What advice could you offer?

Q.
Hi, I just paid £289 for Root canal, it was 6pm and he did it very quickly, I had a small abcess at root and now 4 days later their is still a bump and it feels sore and still like an abcess when I press on it, I have had it 4 years and I think its making me run down. I have never had anti biotics, what should I do? I do not want to lose the tooth as its my front one and I need a dental bridge from it.

Hi
Are you sure he completed this or was it the first stage. I would go back to him first and ask him to check it out. Else I suggest you see an endodontist (root filling specialist) as you are right it is best to keep the teeth but there shouldn’t be any infection or pain.
