Im taking penicillin for a tooth abscess and as it means I am stuck indoors this weekend I decided to have a pipe of cannabis. No tobacco, This seemed to calm me down but make the pain in my mouth worse. Could it be that the smoke is actually irritating the abscess? Would a vaporiser be more effective and safer? Or perhaps ingesting it?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The cannabis, if you have taken as smoke, then it can aggravate the infection. This can occur secondary to the heat and the negative pressure created by the smoke. So nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Do not use vaporizer also. You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Do not disturb the abscessed area by touching or applying pressure, because this can worsen the condition. So consult the oral physician and get the tooth treated as early as possible. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
