Sir
Pain After rct is there and it is due to bitting forces
And it will be there for a 1 or 2 days
You need to follow all medication properly and see Aftr some days
And Aftr rct cap is necessary as your teeth looses moisture and it can break through and through

Please trust your dr.
Root canal treatment sometimes don't leave tooth painless. It takes 3- 4 days sometimes for it to become painless.
Do not chew the side of treatment, it aggravates pain and tooth to be kept silent without force for few days after rct.
Do consult if she suffers from lot of pain.
Next Steps
warm saline rinses help.

It is normal that the root canal treated tooth shall pain for a couple of days even after that treatment as it is the instrumentation pain,,so ask her to some warm saline(salt) rinses 4-5 times daily and take pain-killers if so necessary,,avoid eating hard food from that side.
