The pain should subside generally after an RCT.
But if it stills persists. Either the infection is persistent which may require re intervention and medications .

Please make sure the tooth is not in the bite.
Wait and watch for a few days. Please get a crown fixed once pain subsides.
If pain persists, please consult a root canal specialist
