There can be many cause of pain after a RCT.
Like crown might not have been reduced occlusally or infection might not have been cleaned properly. Wait for 2 more days if the pain is dull in nature, if pain subsides, no need of taking further medicine and if it doesn't or if it is a severe one then you should consult your dentist ASAP.
