If there is pain and pus in the respective tooth, you better get it removed surgically, otherwise there will be recurrent infection in the same region. Antibiotics may reduce the infection and subsequent pain for a short duration, but it will keep on recurring.
Next Steps
Consult a dentist or oral surgeon and get an appointment
Health Tips
Please do not apply heat to the place where pus is evident, either as warm saline rinse or direct heat application.

Yes you should plan for extraction, or later you can develope more complicated issues like restricted mouth opening, difficulty in chewing, extra oral swelling of face, with moderate to severe pain. The problem must have arised because you are unable to brush properly in that region as the tooth is not properly aligned.
Hence to avoid future complications, it's better to go ahead with extraction unless you have any other systemic conditions or taking any other medication.
Next Steps
gargle warm saline water daily fr 3/4 times.
Health Tips
partially erupted tooth, hence try to brush properly in that region till you plan for extraction
