Had three wisdom teeth removed today but throwing up now, two separate times..am taking hydrocodone for pain..ate very little bland food..why vomiting?

Hydrocodone: Narcotic pain medication is notorious for causing nausea and vomiting. Try eating what you can before you take your pain medication or ask for anti nausea medication.

Side effect : Hydrocodone is an intermediate opiate analgesic which is metabolized to hydromorphone, the active metabolite. One of the side effects of opiate analgesics is nausea and vomiting. This side effect is more prominant in some patients and either must be discontinued to avoid the side effects or replaced with another analgesic which may not have the side effect.

Possibly medicatoin: Many medication including hydrocodone can cause an upset stomach as well as the ingestion of blood during a procedure. Ingestion is likely to have occured to some degree as well so it could be a combination.

Possible allergy: Possible hydrocodone allergy or taking too high of a dose. I would check with dentist to correct medicine and dosage immediately.

A few reasons: If you were sedated, then it probably the sedation that is causing the vomiting. Narcotic pain medications can cause vomiting also. If you are not in severe pain then switch over the plain tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen.
