What Causes Redness On The Face And Eyes Along With Painful Lymph Nodes After Inhaling Weed Smoke?

Hi. Okay so my friend smoked weed beside me and I think I breathed some in. My face is red and hot, and my eyes are a tiny bit red. The main thing is that my lymph nodes hurt really bad, and this is weird but I never ever have bo. But the morning after this happened (I had taken a shower the night before) I had horrible body odor under my pits.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concer. As per your query you have redness on the face and eyes along with painful lymph nodes after inhaling weed smoke is due to allergic reaction due to ingredients like tar, carbon monoxide. I would suggest you to consult allergy specialist for proper examination without any delay so that it will not lead to anaphylaxis . You should avoid taking weed, drink plenty of liquids and take benadryl twice a day . Doctor may give adrenaline shot or may prescribe anti histamine or anti inflammatory. You should take green tea on daily basis in morning. Use of oral antihistamines would help to decrease the reaction. Visit pulmonologist once and get it examined if symptoms keeps on persisting. Keep continuing with medications which you are already taking. Apply humidifiers in room.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
