Is your root canal complete or still in process? If it's complete you would feel slight sensitivity on that tooth for a week. If your treatment is still in process your pain would subside gradually after each rct appointment. If you are on medication complete that course.
Avoid chewing from that side unless your caps are placed and keep that area clean.

Hello Ma'am ,Welcome to Practo -
As you went for a root canal , its a procedure to clean your decayed nerves . Nerves that sense the pain . So we take few sittings to clean them out completely.
So firstly ,let me know
Wether the root canal completed and pain is accompanied later. In that case its a problem and may need a repetition.
If ,you are under root canal sittings , in that case some nerve remnants are still present that would be cleaned upon your next dressing.
So these are two senarios that might be the case .
Let me know if any further query am here to help , just post to me and I will assist and walk you through the management.

its a common problem after the first or 2nd sitting so just wait and watch or either take pain killers recommended by the concerned dentist.

Its usual to have pain after rootcanal for a week . If you are under medication generally you wont feel any pain. Wait for a week if pain doesn't subside visit your dentist
Next Steps
dont chew anything on the root canal treated side until you go for capping procedure.
Health Tips
its always helpful if you share pictures of the tooth and x rays of root canal treated tooth
