Hi.
Welcome to HCM..

As per your complain Hydrocodone and acetaminophen is taken together as acetaminophen helps in improving the activity of hydrocodone and Two tablets each of Hydrocodone 5 mg- Acetaminophen 325 mg for a severe toothache can be taken but only after consulting a local physician/ dentist or an emergency room..

A maximum dose of hydrocodone should not exceed for more that 40 or 50 mg in a day..
You can also get an injection of painkiller from an emergency care if pain is severe..

Also put clove oil over the tooth or can bite over a clove so that it helps in reducing pain due to sedative action..
Do cool compresses over the cheek..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
