There could be many reasons for this:-
1- Infection has not subsided completely.
2- Re-infection.
3- Sealer and GP is out of the apex of tooth ( can be checked with X-ray ).
Treatment:- Have to take antibiotics for some time and wait n watch, if it heals then go for capping , but if its not healing then extraction is the last option followed by either a bridge or implant which is the best option if you can afford.

It is difficult to diagnose your problem without seeing your xray reports. Please visit an Endodontist for the
same. For symptomatic relief, you may take painkillers after food .

Hi. It could be many reasons...failure of the root canal, reinfection of the root canal treated tooth, overfilled sealer at the apex area, chronic infection at the tip which is reacting to the treatment.
So just wait for a while or try taking antibiotics to control if there is infection.
If pain doesnt subside extraction and going for an implant would probably be the best solution.
