Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The chipped tooth cannot be covered with something by your own, you need to consult a dentist and get it treated, Mean while if you have sensitivity in the tooth, you can use desensitizers like strontium chloride(sensoform or sensodyne).
After your tournament you can get the tooth restored either with composite if the fracture is not involving pulp. If it is involving pulp, then get it treated with root canal treatment and crown.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
