Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Actually hives is a sign of allergic reaction to any drug. It will be relieved after taking anti-allergic medication.
Hydrocodone is a drug which is contraindicated in alcohol users, so better you ask your husband that either to discontinue alcohol or to change the drug, as it can create further problems.
Hope it will help you
