Default Severe pain 5 days after root canal retreatment

My wife had a root canal ~18 months ago and we recently found it is was severely infected.

She didn't have any pain in that area but exhibited other issues that we believe were caused by the infection (migraines, temporary facial palsy and more).

She had a retreatment last Friday, 6/29/11, and has been in severe pain since. My wife has a high pain tolerance but the endodontist did not prescribe any pain pills or antibiotics initially and it was unbearable. After calling they prescribed vicodin but it really doesn't help, Advil does more for her.

Should she be in this much pain after 5 days? Any tips? Anything that may help?

Thank you for your time.
