Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The sensitivity or the pain in the filled tooth could be because of the decay involving pulp or improper base below the restoration. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If there is pulpal involvement and any infection in the root tip, get the tooth treated with root canal treatment. If it is not involving pulp then you can change the restorative material to calcium hydroxide base with zinc oxide eugenol temporary cement. After that wait for 21 days, if you develop pain in this period, get the tooth treated with RCT. If you dont get pain, then get the tooth restored with composite.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
