Yes: Yes you can - often it is an allergy to that specific preparation.

Unusual: Most hydrocodone reaction are from intolerance(upset stomach, nausea etc) and not allergy. However if one has itching, hydrocodone may potentially worsen it since it does release histamine from some of the body cells (basophils, mast cells) even though one is not allergic to it.
