Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query throat pain after weed smoking is mainly because of it is highly irritating to lining of respiratory tract. It causes damage of cilia and leads to severe throat pain and dryness in throat.

I would suggest you to stop taking weed on frequent basis and if ever you take monitor dosage of weed. Gargling with silver hydrosol will help you alot.

Keep yourself rehydrated with plenty of water and fluids.

Take antibiotics such as Augmentin for 5 days. Do warm saline gargles on daily basis.

Use beta-dine rinses to clear throat.

Avoid taking sharp, spicy food and extreme cold substances.

Visit ENT specialist once if it keeps on hurting and go for laryngeoscopy to examine inner mucosa.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
