Depends on which tooth it is. If it is the first primary molar then it can be removed as it usually goes by 8 years of age. However if it is the second primary molar then it should be saved by doing a root canal if possible
Health Tips
Antibiotics are required as there is pus. Do warm water gargles with salt
