If you stop tylenol and pain comes back then you should start taking antibiotic.

Take the entire prescription as directed to control the infection so your dentist can properly treat you.

Pain, inflammation probably due to infection. If you don't take the entire course of meds (take them all directly as directed) expect 1) Sudden excruciating flare-up, and 2) spread of infection through circulatory system to other organ systems.
