Busterdoodoo 38 Posted June 28, 2013 We can take gel caps whole? Or do we have to open then and squeeze out the Tylenol? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kami63 215 Posted June 28, 2013 If you are still on hydrocodone, you probably don't want to take Tylenol. I would ask your surgeon's office. Mine told me not to take any Tylenol while taking the hydrocodone. If you are off and it is in your "owner's manual" then you should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morganne 241 Posted June 28, 2013 Call your doctors office for anything! I'm on day 9 and I've called 3 times. My doctors office is wonderful and they want me to call for any reason. Things I called for: 1. Felt weird feelings in my left leg, was nothing. 2. About Protein 3. Today about Soups. I wanted to know if I could have other soups then what are in my folder. The answer, "yes"!! Anything I can thin and run through a strainer, I am good!!! Cheddar cheese Soup = AMAZING 1 SheWins1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't had issues swallowing gel caps and it didn't have a side note or anything. I'm sure if we couldn't, they would have probably said something or had on there to squeeze it out. I have Prilosec that my surgeon prescribed and it is a capsule and no issues there either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
getlownurse 105 Posted June 28, 2013 Yeah if the fever doesn't break ASAP, you need to get antibiotics for sure. Feel better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
