Treatment will depend upon the age of kid. If she is below 11 , you need to preserve it. Because the tooth which replaces it will erupt around 11.
But looking at attach pictures it seems it is grossly carious and only treatment is extraction. After extraction, space maintainers may be required.
It's best to consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Hello
The tooth seems to be deeply decayed, but the treatment plan depends on her age.
As the permanent tooth beneath this milk tooth will erupt when she will be 10-11 years old.
Next Steps
Take her to Doctor and get her examined
