My daughter had tonsils, adenoids and deviated septum surgery this am. Most of the day today she took 5 mg oxycodone every 4 hrs. and liquid tylenol (30 ml of 500 mg) every 4 hrs - alternating each every 2 hrs. The oxycodone made her throat very sore and breathing labored and heart race, and after her last dose she vomitted. She will now be taking 50 mg Tramadol every 4 hrs. Is it OK to alternate Tylenol with the Tramadol as I was with the oxy ?
Can tylenol be taken alternating with Tramadol ?

Definitely. There is no problem taking them together. I've done it without any problems under doctor's orders.

Certainly!! That is safe to do :) I'm sorry to hear the oxycodone has not worked that we'll and made her heart race. Usually the only issue ppl have with oxycodone is slowed breathing as it is a CNS depressant, that's odd her heart was racing tho. I've been on oxy for 3 years not once have I had a fast heart rate :/ I hope she's feeling better my friend

She can take them together if she wants. They are compatible.
