Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have undergone root canal treatment and now you have fever after taking antibiotics , for this you should consult doctor it can be due to viral infection also .

You can take one Tablet Paracetamol three times a day for temporary relief

Consult physician for burning sensation in eyes and fever.

Hope this will help you.
