Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Marijuana smoking can cause irritation and inflammation of throat. It reduces local defence and make throat prone for infection.
So throat infection is common after Marijuana smoking.
So get done blood work.
You will need antibiotic, anti histamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Avoid Marijuana smoking in future.
Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
Do all these for 1 week and you will mostly improve.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
