I have done RCT in one of my wisdom teeth, the reason being it did not erupt completely and got infected. After the procedure, I now find the teeth is little sensitive, when I drink water or rinse after a meal. My doctor has told me to rinse with Luke warm salt water for 3 times a day until it subsides. Is this a normal after implication of an RCT or this abnormal?

Normally the treatment plan for unerupted wisdom teeth is extraction. RCT should not have been done.

No. After a root canal, the nerves are being removed, there can be mild pain, but definitely not sensitivity. See if the root canal is done completely.
