    33 year old female. 2-3 teaspoons every 4-6 hours. My surgery was 2 days ago, and in the beginning I was stretching it out to 3 tsp every 5 hours, but now I can barely reach 4 hours. My doctor did warn me that the pain would get worse. But he also put me on an anti-nausea med in case the hydrocodone made me sick.

    I had a my tonsils removed (along with some other upper throat and septum work). My only prob with this med is that it doesn't last long enough. My dose is 15mL every 4 hours. The pain is back in about 1/2 the time.

    This is working for my child (6yrs) who had her tonsils/adenoids removed. She HATES the taste but knows that it will provide some relief. The day after surgery she was drinking and eating soft foods, but I did give her the med. every 4 hours on the nose. Just swallow it down quickly and chase with a flavored drink (her choice=orange gatorade/vernors) and its done! If she can do it, so can you.
