Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice
As per your history he is having symptoms of infection, so he may require antibiotics to cure it after physician consultation.
Tylenol will help to relieve pain but cannot clear infection.
Till then keep him well hydrated, give him warm drinks, make him to do saline gargle.
Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you further.
