Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

In your query you have not mentioned your age .

If all your permanent teeth are erupted ,you have to get the baby tooth removed.
The pus and pain suggests an abscess formation in relation to the tooth which has to be removed.

If the permanent are not erupted ,then you can go for pulpectomy to save the tooth till the permanent tooth erupts.

Antibiotics on advice from the dentist is to be taken .Do salt water gargling.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
