What Causes Mucus Obstruction In Throat After Having Meth?

Posted on Mon, 1 Jun 2015

Question: I tried meth (smoked and snorted a little) for the first time the other day and now I have what feels like a mucus obstruction in my throat. Is my throat infected? I have been drinking lots of fluids, gargled with salt, and listerine. Is this a cause for major concern? I know I will never do it again.
