Hydrocodone Apap 5mg 500mg Med (Top voted first)

Updated

My 14 year old daughter has terrible pain because of infection in her tooth. She has on going problems with her teeth because of a dental disease she has. It is the weekend and we ran out of the usual pain med prescribed. The dentist is impossible to contact. So... I wondered if it would be safe to give her hydrocodone as an alternative. She weighs 120 lbs.

Hello, Melissa! How is she doing?

Hydrocodone is actually a narcotic, so it's just not safe to give it to her, without a doctor's approval. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

What was she taking for it?

When will she be seeing her dentist?

We finally got her out of the pain once her antibiotics kicked in. Codeine is her usual pain medicine which I only give to her when the pain is at its worst. If ibuprofen will do the trick we use one if them. My daughter has terrible anxiety at the dentist because of a bad experience with one. The specialist we are seeing now wants to do all the work at once while putting her under. I can't afford this. And I have told Dr my daughter reacted negatively to that before. But seems to be insisting to go that route. My husband and I have been trying desperately for some time to come up with the money to help our daughter. So I am unsure when we are going to be able to get as appointment for a permanent solution. Hopefully before she loses it
Thank you so much for reply and caring!
