Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain pain in tooth after cavity filling and preparation of tooth for placing a crown clearly indicates that the nerves of the tooth have been opened up due to preparation of cavity to retain the filling causing inflammation and condition is known as Chronic Irreversible Pulpits ..

You should consult your dentist and get an X Ray done and it will definitely show exposed nerves and blood vessels present in central portion of tooth in a small chamber known as Pulp..

The treatment is first to get the filling removed under local anaesthetic followed by Root Canal Treatment and the advised antibiotic AMOX TR-K CLV 875-125MG TAB twice daily, along with it a painkiller is to be taken to relieve pain as antibiotics can reduce infection but to relieve pain painkiller is needed..
You can take Ibuprofen for moderate pain but in case of severe pain Ketorolac or Tramadol can be taken..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards...
