Opinion on pulpectomy for my son

Hi doctor, We have been advised to proceed with a pulpectomy for 3 of his milk teeth. I would like to understand if the pulpectomy is truly necessary  or it would be safe to wait for the milk tooth to naturally fall out. I have attached his dental x-ray. Could you please advice 1) whether it is really required 2) if delaying treatment could cause any issue to other surrounding teeth 3) approx how long it may take for his milk tooth tk naturally fall out( he will turn 6 yr old in jan 27) 4) whether there are any alternative treatment options Thanks in Advance

Dental puss store in palate

I had a dental infection. My dentist drilled the tooth, drained the pus, and started antibiotics (Amoxicillin + Clavulanic Acid and Metronidazole) for 5 days. And warm salt water rinse in 5-6 times in day, The next day, swelling/pus appeared and seems to have collected in the palate. I have no fever now, and after 72 hours of antibiotics the fever has not returned, but the palate remains swollen and very painful, possibly due to trapped pus. The pus is not draining on its own.  Can the pus drain or be absorbed naturally with antibiotics, or does it usually require professional drainage? How many days can the palatal swelling and pain take to completely resolve?
