How Effective And Safe Is Taking Hydrocodone For Dry Cough And Chest Pain?

Hi ....I have a prescription for Hydrocodone Bitar (take a teaspoon amount before bedtime), after the 2nd usage noticed a slight numbness in my left hand and my left foot felt cold.......after the 3rd usage experience the same symptoms plus at times hot sweaty feet. I m assuming that this is due from taking the hydrocodone which was prescribed to deal with a constant dry cough and chest pain... the cough is mostly gone now . My question(s) are can the drug hydrocodone cause the above effects ......how serious are they and how long after I stop taking the drug will symptoms take to subside......as stated I have only taken the drug (3) times at (5 millilitres) per.........thanks...............Stephen.

No hydrocodone shouldn't cause such things. However you can stop it if your cough is better. If symptoms persists then visit a physician again to see if these things are due to any other reason
