You need IOPA for your proper diagnosis. There may be secondary caries in the previously treated tooth. Rinse your mouth with hot salt water 5-6 times a day.
Next Steps
You should visit endodontist.

Your cavity might be extending deep. It needs to be seen clinically along with xray of your tooth to rule out the exact cause and give you proper treatment of the same. Kindly visit a dentist.

Hi. If your cavity is deep then there is  chances of pulp irritation or it's involvement. Share pics of xray. If it's not too deep then filling can be done again with pulp protection.

I think your restoration having marginal leakage ,Marginal leakage is the penetration of fluids, bacteria into the space existing between all restorative materials and cavity walls. It can cause pulp irritation, pain , it can develop peri apical or periodontal infection.
Next Steps
Visit nearest your dentist for IOPA and clinical examination of tooth (for RCT or other treatment options)
