Can Weed Be Smoked Along With Pneumonia And Strep Throat Antibiotics?
I was diagnosed with pneumonia and strep throat today. I smoked weed 5 times yesterday not knowing this. I am now on antibiotics for both medicines and am feeling a lot better. Can I take one hit of weed today without making either disease too much worse?
Hello and thank you for your question! Pneumonia is a very severe infection and it takes time, medications and precautions to heal better.Smoking anything when recovering from pneumonia is very hurtful to your lungs.Your system needs more time than the time it takes to finish antibiotic therapy. You are recovering from a bacteria infection, in a vital organ of your body. Don't work against your immune system and antibiotics by smoking marijuana until you have been cleared of the infection. Best regards!
HI Well come to HCM If you do have pneumonia and smoking some kind of narcotic related drug then this is not good, even if you are on antibiotic inflammatory process will not be stopped if smoke weed, chances of becoming disease worse is very likely, and better to stop this, hope this information helps take care.
