Removal of the offending wisdom tooth should be done at the earliest under proper antibiotic coverage. Healing usually takes 5 to 7 days but discomfort will end in 2 to 3 days. Still clinical evaluation and co relation is required.

Yes you can get it removed but before that antibiotic premedication might be required based on your symptoms and evaluation of the root of the tooth needs to be done by an x-ray called OPG.
There will be some instructions that you need to follow for 3 to 4 days, so getting the treatment done as soon as possible will be recommended so that you are comfortable by the time your exams come.
