Can i take hydrocodon for toothache?

Dental issue: If you have been prescribed hydrocodone, it is likely ok to use for tooth pain. But you need to get to a dentist to find out why you are having pain and what needs to be done about it.

Yes: It will get you through the night, but you have to address the problem.

Yes, but...: Common side effect is nausea. It does help you sleep. Don't drive a car if you are taking hydrocodone. Ibuprofen 600mg every 6 hours work just as well without the nausea.

Yes, but: Yes, but 1) it doesn't solve the problem. Visit to DDS indicated, and 2) you should only take a prescription med that was written for you and for the purpose that it was prescribed.
