Answers:
Are you on antibiotics? Well, I wouldn't do anything until the infection heals. You can get the tooth prepared for a crown and have the temporary crown placed, but I'd wait to get the permanent one cemented until things calm down.
But, yes you need a crown on that tooth because it's dead now. There is no blood going through it to keep it vital and strong. After a root canal teeth become weak. Just be very careful until you get the crown. Try to cut food instead of ripping/biting it. No opening beer bottles with your teeth!! :)
