Recently Had Surgery. On Pain Relievers With Codone Making Itchy. How To Get Rid Of It?
Hello Doctor, my grandmother recently had surgery, and she's on pain relievers with codone in it. She told her doctor that it makes her extremely itchy, but it seems he didn't listen to her. Tomorrow we plan to call another doctor in the hopes of getting a different brand, but is there anything that can be done tonight to help relieve the problem?

Hi and welcome to HCM.
of course that something can be done. She should change medicine. There are various painkillers and she should stop taking it when first oticed itchying. Visit your GP and insist on another codone like or opiat based drugs. Pain must be adequately managed,but with minimized side effects. Also she can take some medicine for itchying if her doctor insists on codone.
WIsh you good health.
