Your best bet would be to see an endodontist with a view to doing a retreatment through the crown.
Extraction would be a last resort ideally. The dentist doing the root canal 2 years ago maybe missed a canal or two.
It is also possible to bring the infection under control with antibiotics but it will likely reoccur in time.

Has the tooth always felt 100% fine until now or did it used to have occasional weird sensations (if so that would indicate a low-level infection bubbling along and an incomplete rct treatment).
