It’s 8 days since apico on 21. Looks like it didnt work coz I have the same severe trobbing pulsating pain as before the operation. I got 2nd pack of antibiotics even though on x-ray it “looks good”, told me to wait 1 more week and if pain is still there, he wants to pull out the tooth.

X-ray before apico attached for idea, i dont have one after.
