Should I be worried about continued dental pain after root canal treatment?

Q.
I finished root canal treatment yesterday,after checking the xray, a tiny bit at the very top of the root has been missed, this morning it feels the same as it did at the beginning before ant treatment began.I ,ve had 1 weeks course of antibiotics,it was cleaned out as this was being done it was very smelly and the pulp had rotted away. It was covered & i went back 9 days later,it stil felt odd sort of tingly numb feeling & the smell was back.When it was being recleaned yesterday i could smell it again it was also a bit swollen and tender at the top, she finshed the job & then checked the xray where it was noticed a tiny bit has been missed,she seemed to think it would be fine i have to go back in 10 days,but at the minute it feels the same as it did right at the beginning about 6 weeks now

Its too early to tell yet so wait for 3-4 weeks to see if the treatment settles down
