Tylenol, aka acetaminophen, is generally used for fever reduction (antipyretic) and pain not associated with inflammation. NSAID stands for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug, so as you can see, this drug is associated with reducing inflammation. Popular NSAIDs are Motrin (ibuprofen) and aspirin.
