hi, i have an absess at the bottom left in my mouth, i had a temporary filling put in yesterday and will go back 2-4 weeks for root canal treatment. the bottom left of my cheek has swelled up and i am taking two kinds of antibiotics , amoxicillin and metronidazole. Just wanted to know if it was okay to smoke a joint of cannabis?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor,first, I wanted to say that, I think you also understand that smoking can create problem here, and I tell you that smoking will slow down the healing process, resulting in growth of infection at a faster rate. Metronidazole stops the anaerobic bacterial growth. So please stop smoking till you get the treatment over. Thanks
