I want to know if it's safe to have my wisdom tooth extracted while i have a pericoronitis infection and am now on antibiotics?

Yes you are covered: You are on antibiotics The pericoronitis is being caused by the interrelationship of your gums and wisdom tooth By extracting the tooth you will get rid of the pericoronitis problem, food impact ion, and gum infection
