hello thanks for your question at HCM.
Wisdom tooth need to be examined by x-ray.If there is enough space then we can let it erupt in mouth. If there isn't enough space,then it needs to be removed.
In your case its poking,paining and discharging green pus.So yes you need antibiotics.You can go for amoxicilline if you are not having peniciline allergy.You should also take pain killer medicine if pain is severe.And get one x-ray of that tooth by nearby dentist.
You can ask for further queries if you find any confusion.
wish you happy health.
