It will show up but as long as there is a prescription and you are under the doctor's care it is legitimate. Does not mean that they have to accept the reason though so be prepared to have the medications both in hand. The antibiotic helps to prove the infection and that will help with the vicodin. Good luck.

The hydrocodone usually only stays in the body around 3 days. Anyway, with the script you will be fine. Don't worry.
