Hi there
The history and Opg x-ray reveals that you have a decayed tooth pretty close to nerve... Well root canal is advised when you have persistent pain which is throbbing and radiating to temple and behind ear and if the pain aggregates only in late evening and on doing cold water.
If you just have sensitivity which subsides after few seconds then just a filling should suffice...
