Can Hydroxyzine 50mg Or Cough Medicine With Hydrocodone Be Taken If Fioricet Not Working For Sinusitis?
My wife has extremely impacted sinus's and was prescribed Fioricet. It is not helping her at all. Would it hurt if she took Hydroxyzine 50 mg 3 hours after? Or could she take some cough medicine with hydrocodone? She took the Fioricet about 3 to 4 hours ago. I am not paying nothing for a simple question.

Fioricet is a potent analgesic. So it is not a definitive treatment for sinusitis. Hydroxyzine is an anti-allergic and if your wife is having a bout of sneezing, running nose, irritative cough etc then it may help. Cough medicine with hydrocodone is an analgesic and cough suppressant which may work in dry cough. It is always better to meet an ENT Specialist if your wife's problems persist for more than 48 hours...
