root canal pain

I had a root canal done yesterday, and I haven't been able to sleep.  That side of my mouth hurts so much that it is just throbbing.  I took a tylenol 3 and 1 advil, and it isn't touching the pain.
What should i do?

My lip and chin also have a tingling sensation, as if its asleep.  Im not sure if thats because of the needle or what.

It is normal to have some discomfort that can be pretty severe after a rootcanal. I'd call your dentist and let them know. You may need to be on an antibiotic or stronger pain killer.
