Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
Hydrocodone and acetaminophen is a combination or narcotic and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug. This can be taken for a maximum period of 5-7days. Mean while you need to get the tooth treated as early as possible. If you continue to take these medicines, you might end up in getting addicted to these drugs and can develop gastritis. So I advise you to get the tooth treated soon.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
