It's because of chewing pressure caused dislocation of that rct treated tooth causing the trouble.
Please details required to prescribe medicines as you have hives as a allergic condition .
In the meanwhile you can rinse with lukewarm salt water after every meals and maintain oral hygiene by brushing with ultra soft toothbrush 2 times daily on a regular basis to prevent further loss of tooth substance due to caries.
Next Steps

There might be reinfection in the root canal treated tooth. ..so it's paining.
The tooth is broken n so the filling came out ...capping after root canal treatment is recommended always .
Next Steps
consult a dentist online for medication...as prescribing medicines requires more information from you .
