Default Jaw infection due to broken lower molar that cannot be extracted

Hi, I have just joined this forum to learn from other members expertise.
I have a broken lower left molar that cannot be extracted. It cannot be extracted due to the high dose of radiation given to cure squamous cell cancer at the base of my tongue.
My lower left jaw under the broken tooth stays infected and results in severe general debilitation.
Oral surgeons will not extract the tooth as they feel that it would not heal.
What is the best treatment to cure the infection or at least keep it under control?
