Do hydrocodone pills help with a swollen throat?
11 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
Not really: They can help alleviate the discomfort, but will do nothing to improve the swelling or underlying condition.

Hydrocodone: Hydrocodone is a pain killer. It is also used in cough syrup. It's not used to treat swollen throat.

Probably not: Hydrocodone is used to manage pain. However, your md will have to determine the cause of the swelling. Allergies? Trauma? Inflammation? Systemic disease? Steroid medication or an NSAID (for example ibuprofen) may be prescribed. Please consult your md.

Determine cause: A swollen throat that is left untreated can cause a serious condition if your airway is blocked. Is the swelling due to an allergy, trauma, or an infection? Can't diagnose this over the internet. In addition, hydrocondone will not treat any of these problems. See your physician for definitive care.
