Hi. If your cavity is deep then there is chances of pulp irritation or it's involvement. Share pics of xray. If it's not too deep then filling can be done again with pulp protection.

I think your restoration having marginal leakage ,Marginal leakage is the penetration of fluids, bacteria into the space existing between all restorative materials and cavity walls. It can cause pulp irritation, pain , it can develop peri apical or periodontal infection.
Next Steps
