Dental X-ray Review and Infection Query

Hello Doctor, I had a dental X-ray yesterday and was advised that there may be an infection in an old extraction area/root region. I have been prescribed Metrogyl, Amoxy 650 LB, Aceclo SP and Rabeprazole DSR. The tooth in that area was actually extracted several years ago. Could you please review whether the treatment plan and possible extraction/surgical removal are appropriate? Also, does the X-ray suggest anything serious or dangerous?
