Does Crystal Meth Lead To Ear Infection And Strep Throat?

I have been on a crystal meth binge for the past five days, where i havent used in over 6 yrs. Within the past 3 days I have acquired an ear infection and strep throat. Was the meth or its chemicals directly involved in these ailments? How else would you aqcuire both these ailments if not on the drug?

Hello

Thanks for the query

Recreational drug users are prone for infections. It is hard to say if one particular micro organism is more susceptible than others. I recommend that you stop consuming this drug

I hope I was of help
