Given that there is active infection with furcation involvement, the decision to extract/ remove the tooth seems feasible.
Would advise an in depth analysis on whether to go with an Immediate/ delayed implant.

So this 2D rvg image shows a through and through perforation through the furcation of the tooth which is vital to be preserved to be able to perform and determine the success rate of the root canal treatment and here the case suggests poor prognosis as in tooth cannot be saved so extracting it and replacing it with a dental implant is the best way to go about it.

Hello,
As seen from the x-ray, the tooth needs an extraction but implant cannot be done immediately in this case. We will have to wait for the area to heal.
Next Steps
Start your son on Tab Augmentin 625 mg and Tab Enzoflam following which get the tooth extracted
