Hydrocodone?? Is this safe??

Question

My jellybean is 8wks1dy and i was rushed to the hospital this morning due to horrible head, tooth and ear aches!! Come to find out I have an infected tooth! The dr gave me amoxicillin for the the infection and Hydrocodone for the pain. I ask the nurse was this safe and she kind of blew me off with a simple "sure" so I googled and im having mixed emotions about it! Some say its ok if its in a low dose my bottle says Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5MG/325MG!! Is this ok???

Answer

I think the only time it is considered dangerous I'd late in pregnancy when the baby can become addicted to it. I would ask my obgyn to be safe.

Answer

We know acetominiphan is safe, hydrocodone does get prescribed to pregnant woman for pain and must be taken sparingly and as prescribed. If you can go without, just take Tylenol for the pain. Also, do you have a nurses hotline at your local hospital? It might help to get a medical professional on the line to help you feel more secure in your decision making.
