Is Smoking Marijuana Safe While On Antibiotics For Cellulitis?

I recently had my nose pierced but developed cellulitus around it. I went to the doctor and was prescribed the antibiotic AUGMENTIN and a cream to put on it. I was wondering if smoking marijuana would halt any effect of the antibiotic or possibly slow or make my condition worse. I have read about marijuana now being considered for it s antibiotic properties against MRSA but I don t know about in the form of smoking so I would like to ask a professional basically, Can I still continue to smoke? Your input is appreciated. Thank you.
