I would put some Orajel on it. That stuff is amazing! Also, I would take Ibuprofin instead of Tylenol.
You will definitely want to get that wisdom tooth pulled as soon as possible, because the pain will keep getting worse.
Until you can get to the dentist, here are a couple of things that can help:
Motrin - take Motrin instead of Tylenol. Motrin is great for inflammation and swelling, and will help with the gum swelling around the wisdom tooth.
Naproxen Sodium - can also help, if you cannot tolerate Motrin. Both Naproxen Sodium and Motrin are better for this type of pain than Tylenol
Hot compresses - get a wash cloth and soak it in hot water, or put it in the microwave for a short period of time (no more than 15 seconds when damp). Hold it on your cheek on the side that you have the pain on.
Kanka Pen - go to your local discount store (Walmart, Target, or Kmart) or your local drug store (Walgreens, CVS, or Rite Aid) and buy a Kanka Pen. They are sold near the Orajel. You will brush it directly on the tooth and gum area that hurts. It will numb the pain and lasts a lot longer than Orajel.
Have had painful wisdom teeth in the past, always ended up having to get them removed at the dentist, but these things helped in the interim.
