What Treatment Is Suggested For Sore Throat Due To Smoking Of Meth?
i smoked 1 gram of meth and got a very swollen sore throat i am not going to do that stuff any more but this morning either the swollen sore spot is bleeding or it in my esophagus not a ton of blood just definitely blood . I can breath fine and dont have a cough should i just wait to see if i damaged tissues in my throat that may have started bleeding and will need time to heal?

Hi,
If the bleeding was minuscule, then it is probably from the swollen area of the throat. You should avoid hot and spicy foods as these can further irritate the inflamed area. Steam inhalation may help hasten the healing process. If the bleeding recurs or if the sore throat does not improve, then do not hesitate in seeing a doctor. You may need a course of antibiotics if there has been secondary infection.
Best wishes.
