You are referring to a deciduous molar which has a abscess. I do not know if you got the x-rays done and checked with your dentist.
The successor premolar erupts at the age of 13-14 years,nearly 3 years from now.It is ideal to do a root canal treatment to save the space for successor tooth.
However, if or not a root canal can be done can be decided only after clinical and x-ray interpretation.
I suggest you to consult your dentist and treatment done.Do not postpone or the infection will spread.
Regards.
