Smoked Crystal Meth For Few Days. Difficult Swallowing. Took Ibuprofen, Benadryl. Ear Pain. Steps To Speed Healing?
Okay so I'll just be forthright, I have been smoking crystal meth for the last few days, and this morning I woke up with no problems. I took one hit this morning at around 9 am and at around 12 pm i was drinking some cold water and it hurt slightly to swallow. It is now almost 3 pm, I have taken ibuprofen and benadryl, but my throat is still swollen. My right ear also aches slightly. Swallowing is now quite painful. Is the pain from smoking meth? And if so, what steps can I take to speed up the healing process, or at least lessen the pain and swelling?

Dear,
As per the history you have given and the clinical findings you may be suffering with acute laryngopharyngitis. first thing you should do is not to try such things in future. take some anta acid gel and antireflux treatment.
I would suggest you to consult the Specialist if you don’t get relief as on examination the findings may be different and line of treatment may have to be changed.
Yours sincerely
