Hello
consult an endodontist for proper opinion on extractiing or saving that tooth . usually such teeth can be saved by root canal treatment but taht depends on extends of infection too . temporary teeth are meant to be for 10 days max as they tends to break due to poor strength

A temporary is just that- temporary. It will not last or help in any way. Please visit a dental clinic at the earliest - preferably a root canal specialist / endodontist and they will advise whether you can save the tooth or no.

Once there is presence of pus at root apex you need to not waste time and do take second opinion and get the treatment done.
For it to avoid spreading and involving adjacent teeth.
As of now pls share picture of your tooth and Xray as well for better reference.

Hey can you share your tooth photo and xray if any for detailed discussion. It is difficult to comment without seeing what the tooth looks like. You may ping on personal chat also.
