Besides hydrocodone. Is he on any nsaids? (Ibuprofen,naproxen,etc) I assume the hydrocodone is in combo with acetaminophen. Cannabis has and is used for some pain control but it really depends on the legality in your state/country.
Pediatric: Cannabis vs Opiods for pain management?My step-son (13M, 238lbs, 6'3) fractured the growth plate on the back of his ankle today. We were given hydrocodone but he has gotten very agitated/rage-y on painkillers before.Also, there is a history of opioid abuse/addiction on one parent's side and general substance abuse/addiction on the other so we're all very skeptical to give him anything. Two of us parents have used medical marijuana as a replacement for pain medication effectively.Which would be considered the lesser of two evils here? Either way we would mostly be giving it to him once a day to help him sleep.
