Is it safe to have my wisdom tooth removed while i'm still taking antibiotics for pericoronitis. surgery will be done this thursday. ?

Of course: If you were prescribed an antibiotic you should take it before, during and after wisdom teeth surgery. Take the antibiotic until it is gone, even if you are feeling better.
