Hi it's been quite sometime that your tooth is exposed because the crown is off.
A root canal treated tooth can have a reinfection if there is a break in the filling, can also break if it is subjected to forces of mastication hence causing pain.
Kindly get it checked at the earliest.
The dentist would assess and tell you what treatment is required.
It is definitely safe for your baby cause incase you need medication the dentist would prescribe accordingly.
Next Steps
Get an assessment and treatment at the earliest as delaying would cause further damage.

Looks like you have got infection in tooth.
Better to visit a local dentist for treatment and physical evaluation.
Do get an x ray done.
