Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The bump (swelling ) indicates that there is infection forming on the root canal tooth. I would advice you to visit your endodontist and get it checked up , followed by a radiograph.

The tooth can be retreated depending upon the condition of the tooth either by a re root canal treatment it by peri apical surgery.

Do saline gargling .

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
