Thank you for the query,
There is no reason to worry.
When the tooth is infected it leads to abscess formation due to build up pressure. This pressure is released in many different forms as sinus, fistula etc.
The antibiotics will take care of the infection and analgesic will relive the pain of your young one.
Extraction in 3 year old kid is difficult hence they have asked for full anesthesia in Hospital.
