If that tooth is paining then better to go for an xray first for proper diagnosis ....
If xray is fine go ahead with capping ....

Hello
Yes it's mandatory to go for crown after root canal therapy. Pain might be due to some gum infection . Anyway we need to confirm with a x-ray to proceed with the crown.If required we need re root canal therapy too. Its safe to take a antibiotics course before procedure .
