Smoking weed is not recommended right now
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. The ear, nose and throat passages are connected to each other.
2. Smoking weed is likely to affect the ear surgery and delay recovery.
3. Therefore it is suggested not to smoke weed till you have recovered and this will be about 2 weeks. Please ask your doctor for pain relief alternative.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
