Yes it is body reaction to the treatment, take proper antibiotics and analgesics, hope it should be okay. Also rinse with lukewarm water with a pinch of salt in it about 4-5 times daily.

Pain in your RCT teeth is due to incomplete BMP procedure. Take antibiotics & pain killer for reduce swelling and pain. When BMP will be completed your all problem will be cured.
