Pulling sensations after RCT first session

[JcMac]

I had the first RCT session on Friday morning (48h ago). At first it got a bit more sensitive to percurssion than usual, but then started getting better, so that 8 hours ago it was at a normal stage, kind of. But then 3 hours ago I started getting pulling sensations when laying down, so I even had to avoid laying down. However after 3 hours the sensitivity to percussion is still normal. Does this seem like infection? Fracture? Normal? What does it seem like?

Also I managed to schedule an appointment with an endodontist for Monday morning, but there's a clinic open today (Sunday) for emergencies which only has generalists. I had already gone there once for a clearly infected RCT (pain), they put calcium hydroxide, and it killed the pain immediately, but after 5 days it returned even worse, so I pulled off the tooth. My endodontist says I would have had a better chance with an endodontist, which I didn't know any at the time. Will it make more harm than good going there today, if I also go to the specialist tomorrow?

Will taking antibiotics help? I have some leftover.

It is normal to have some symptoms after a root canal has been started and even sometimes even when the root canal has been completed. These symptoms should gradually decrease with the time. Based on the symptoms that you are describing, I would not suggest taking any antibiotics yet, although it might be indicated at a later stage, if the pain does not subside.
