It can be a chipped off tooth filling or secondary caries. You need to visit a dentist for clinical evaluation and appropriate management of your problem.

I think you are having micro leakage in your restoration.undetectable passage of bacteria, fluids, between tooth and the restorative or filling material.
It’s causing dentinal sensitivity.
Next Steps
Visit nearby dentist for proper diagnosis.
