I have done rct in 2016 but not crowned on teeth till now. And apart from that cavity is also between two teeth. In this cavity only feeling had been done at that time. My concern are that crown is necessary and blood comes during tooth brushing is it safe or I should take medication. Please suggest for better.

Ideally crown is indcated for posterior teeth after root canal treatment because they have to bear masticatory load but for anterior teeth if the crown strucure is intact and not discolored then it is not indicated.
Next Steps
Since its being a long time you need to get the digital radiograph to diagnose whether the root canal is adequate or not .

Hello You definitely have to go for cap placement on the root canal treated tooth but it’s been many years so better to take an xray before fixing the cap For bleeding gums you need to visit the dentist for scaling and polishing

Hello sir, You need to get crowns done for the rct treated teeth. Since it's been 8 years do get a radiographic evaluation done prior to crown placement. Bleeding gums might be due to calculus or food lodgement issues a round pf cleaning  might resolve this issue.

It's almost 8 years. And you have not mentioned whether it's front or back tooth. Crown is not generally indicated for front tooth unless it's broken or largely damaged. If it's the back tooth, after RCT, the tooth will be added with the filling material which will not bear the load when you are chewing. Since you have noted a visible cavity, there is a possibility of filling removal and reinfection.
Next Steps
You should consult an endodontist/root canal specialist to check the tooth. An xray would be taken to see if there is reinfection or decay. if there's infection, ReRCT is indicated followed by immediate capping. if not, only filling followed by capping.
Health Tips
if you don't agree for capping even now, there is a chance of tooth breakage and you end up in removal of tooth.

Visit the dentist for a radiograph and the present status of the teeth. You may have to go for retreatment of RCT  and the filling of the tooth.
