Tooth Infection

Hi, I'm new here and i need some advice.  My tooth had an infection , my dentist opened it up to drain it but couldn't.  So i was put on penicillin and i just finished it.  After he opened it i waited a week to bite on it.  when i did it hurt like hell. Then the pain went away.  Now it's back with a vengeance. Sometimes it's ok like right now since i decided not to bite on it.  I already had a root canal , i'm just wondering should i just take some painkillers and wait or does it need to be removed ?
