Can Tylenol Be Used Instead Of Hydrocodone For Pain Relief?

I have AVM (gastric bleeders with low hgb) and anemic. Am having dental surgery and need a pain reliever. I get very nauseous with hydrocodone. Can t take aspirin. Would Tylenol #3 be a good choice or is there something else that I can recommend to the periodontist. Tramadol makes me nauseous too.

Hello,

NSAID's are commonly avoided in case of gastric bleeding. This is because NSAID's are believed to increase gastric bleeding however paracetamol in lower doses is not considered to cause such problem of gastric bleeding.

But to be on a safer side you should consult your physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination can be done and if he permits you should take paracetamol otherwise not.
As far as hydrocodone or tramadol is concerned you can take anti-nausea medicine like zofran to avoid nausea.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
