Brief Answer:
MOTRIN / ADVIL helps you recover

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

There should be an inflammatory cum allergic reaction expected after smoking a weed. This reaction can exist from mouth, pharynx, larynx and airways as well. So you can take a Non steroidal antiinflammatory (NSAIDs) like MOTRIN or ADVIL 400mg thrice a day for two days. It should be couple with good intake of water up to 3 lts a day which can flush out the toxins quickly.
I advise you not to smoke or drink alcohol during this recovery period.
Note: Consult an experienced Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist online for further follow up on ear, nose, and throat issues - Book a Call now.
