pain under crown ..root cracked

I have had pain under a crown that started a week or so ago..we thought sensitivity but it is worse..am on pencillin..dentist said maybe fractured root....

mild discomfort off and on..what are chances this is an infection on the gum and would a fractured root hurt really badly?

I would think that if the root is fractured it probably has a post in it after root canal therapy. This surely can cause a significant amount of discomfort.I can not tell you if this is a periodontal (gum) problem  but an x-ray would give the doctor a good indication where the pain is emanating from.
