You need to get it finished.and take medications for pain till it has been completed and after the treatment nerves will be no more alive ,tooth will become dead so no pain sensations will be there.

Pulp is like a hole in a water pipe. Once exposed or opened it has to be repaired.
The pain is due to this exposed pulp.
Root canal is a procedure involving a lil pain and discomfort.
Do finish off the whole procedure completely with the crown

If the canal is opened and your pulp is exposed due to some reason then pain is bound to occur. The reason for pain in your case is exposed pulp. Now as it is opened , you need to get your root canal treatment completed and then get crown (cap) on treated tooth.
Next Steps
Get your root canal treatment done under local anaesthetia.
