Hi, You may be allergic to Nickel Chrome alloy that is used in making the crown. As a symptomatic and precautionary measure, I would advise you to get the cap or crown removed if there is no other apparent factor or cause of your discomfort. A dentist will remove the cap and after you are relieved of all the symptoms, you can go for a Ceramic or Porcelain cap.
