Oxycodone stop or take tynelol

Hello I'm 16 and just had a right clavicle surgery around 8-10 and was later realesed with oxycodone and have to take 2 every 4 hours. It hasn't been a day since the surgery and I want to be off the oxy and take Advil or tynelol. The oxy had been making me throw up so this is why the instant switch I am thinking of making. I am a healthy teen male and I am sure I can tolerate the pain with tynelol or Advil please tell me what I should do my next dosage of oxycodone is at 3:40 please answer quickly and thank you!

I agree with the ibuprofen/Advil.  But that can also bother your stomach.  Taking over-the-counter Prilosec can help with that while you're taking the meds sort of constantly.  Also, eating will help a little.  Taking oxycodone or other meds can make you feel sick initially but can sometimes go away but taking it with food can make a big difference.  Feel better.

Depending on your pain level you may want to take just one oxycodone instead of two. Just because the script says to take two it may not be necessary. If one works then just use that for a while, also it doesn't have to be taken at exactly every 4 hours, if you can tolerate the pain you may want to try to go 5 or 6 hours in between. Also, if you do switch, i wouldn't recommend Tylenol. For me it never really worked, Advil or ibuprofen will work much better. Good Luck to you.
