| Title | Resolution of an oral ulcer secondary to acetaminophen/hydrocodone withdrawal. | | Author(s) | Balasubramaniam R, Lin PC, White DK, Yepes JF | | Institution | Orofacial Pain Center, College of Dentistry and Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, USA. | | Source | Gen Dent 2007 Sep-Oct; 55(5):441-4. | | Abstract | Acetaminophen/hydrocodone is a common non-opioid/opioid analgesic indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. The following report depicts a unique case involving a 57-year-old woman with a persistent, painful oral ulcer that was unresponsive to standard treatments. The ulcer was resolved when the patient discontinued acetaminophen/hydrocodone use. The cause of the ulcer is unclear but it was speculated to result from a systemic hypersensitivity reaction to acetaminophen/hydrocodone. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
