Antibiotics reduce infection, not pain. If the dentist didn't prescribe any pain medication, you can take over-the-counter medication such as Moutrin, Aleve, Tylenol for pain. (I like Aleve because it also helps with the swelling.)

What does warm water and salt after a tooth pulled?
Osmotic pressure draws fluids OUT, toward the salt solution. As long as you keep pulling any possible infection that way, you'll have less chance of problems. Osmotic pressure on an infectious bacteria also weakens the bacteria's ability to reproduce and spread the infection. Salt water is a low-tech, highly effective way to control infection in a tooth extraction.
Can an infected socket cause the adjoining tooth to be loose?
An infected socket has a potential of bone loss, if the infection persists for too long. Presence of socket means that a tooth has been extracted out recently. Normally this socket should be filled with regrowth of bone with passage of time, but if it gets infected, there is no bone deposition until infection resides. And if infection persists, the acidic medium caused by pus starts dissolving the surrounding bone tissues as well. Result will be... an adjoining tooth becomes loose!!!!

How long does it take for a tooth to rot in your mouth?
Lets hope you NEVER wait that long, but it depends on what is wrong with the tooth. And if you have a 'rotting' tooth, that most likely means that it is abcessed, and/or the nerve is also dead, and the purosanguinous drainage can seep into your bloodstream and cause dangerous health issues. Never ignore a tooth problem. My sister had a friend who had an infected upper molar, and he didn't do anything about it for a long time, and when he went into the oral surgeon, (well the oral surgeon extracted it without putting him on a series of anti-biotics first to clear up the infection, - there was a lawsuit, and the oral surgeon LOST - ) and it had turned gangrenous (gang green) and the optic nerve was involved, and when he came out of the anesthesia, HE WAS PERMANENTLY BLIND!!!! in other words, the infection had gone into his optic nerve, he waited so long. I guess he was letting HIS TOOTH ROT in his mouth. SO PLEASE, DON'T LET A TOOTH 'ROT' IN YOUR MOUTH, JEEZE....................THIS IS 2007, NOT 200 BC Call a dentist right away.
