Is it normal for my gums to hurt after a toothache?
I went to the dentist with a toothache. She saw nothing wrong with the tooth, it is not sensitive to hot or cold, just a slight pain.. Prescribed antibiotics which I have taken for 2 days but the tooth Is somewhat sensitive to pressure. Could this be from the gum area being infected? It is crowned but has not had a root canal.

If you have still senstivity and there is problem while putting pressure then there still can be infection. Intially when the infection is in initial stage, it is diffcult to make it out the exact diagnosis with xrays. Xrays with clinical signs and symptoms helps in making diagnosis. In my opinion from your description, it looks like that your tooth needs root canal treatment as it is sensitive and there is pain on pressure. It can also be due to gum problem around the tooth. it is difficult to give exact diagnosis with clincal and radiographic examination. You can discuss with your dentist. Usually the crowns are given after doing root canal treatment only.
