Can Hycodan Be Taken While On Augmentin?

I have had a chronic cough for over 14 years. I have had every test possible including but not limited to: heart tests, breathing tests, stress tests, sinus cts, throat cts, lung cts, sputum and blood tests, 2 bronchoscopies, acid reflux tests, ( affirmative diagnosis) appt with best cough specialist at U of Mass, speech therapy, voice box tests, inordinate number of allergy tests, consistent pulmonary tests, every combination of nasal sprays, inhalers, reflux meds,(which I take on a regular basis), nebulizer meds , treatment of sleep apnea with mouth retainer, holistic regimens prescribed by world renound dr. of pharmacy, probiotics, vitamins. I do salt water sinus rinses on a regular basis. I could go on and on. I work with small children and get recurrent chest infections on a monthly basis. In an average year I need to go on a regimen of antibiotics and or steriods at least 10 times or more. These infections are indicated by very heavy green mucus coughed up, wheezing, and a horrible cough that is debilitating to my life. It is so bad that I frequently will throw up from coughing so hard. I will get coughing jags so bad that I have to completely remove myself from a situation. I am not able to go to public events (movies, restaurants etc) due to the heavy loud cough unless I am prescribed Hycodan to suppress the cough. The bottom line is that my immune system seems to be so compromised that I get these recurrent infections.However I have had all blood tests available to determine any deficiency and nothing shows up. I am at my wits end. I currently have an infection and am on Augmentin 825 which is a regular event. The coughing is unbearable. ANY THOUGHTS OR SUGGESTIONS????

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As far as my clinical experience is concerned, there are many conditions which do not show up on tests and the patient suffers misery.

In our clinic, I focus on immunity build up with balanced nutritious diet and other supportive measures. Deep breathing exercises, walking in fresh air, yoga and use of face mask with children at work and during transportation on roads are the pillars of prevention and better outcome.

You can take Augmentin with Hydrocodone safely.

Do give me further chance to assist in future.

Thank you.
