Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.
The abscessed tooth root has to be removed. For the infection you need to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg tid and metronidazole 400mg bid(if you are not allergic) for 3days.
After completing the course you can get the tooth removed. Do saline gargling...
i hope my answer will help you. Take care.
