Hi,
This appears to be an allergic reaction to either the hydrocodone or amoxicillin. I suggest you stop both drugs. Take paracetamol for the pain in the meantime. Contact your doctor for another prescription for different antibiotics. For an alternative pain-killer to add to the paracetamol you could consider ibuprofen but discuss this with your doctor first.
