Does Marijuana Help Get Relief From Ear Pain?

Hello! I have pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and laryngitis. I have a seriously infected lymph node and my right ear is just torturing me. My mother and I have been doing some research and I wanted to know if marijuana would help with the pain ? Some results that I have found say yes, and some say it can irritate it even more. What do you think?

Hello
Welcome here.
Marijuana can acts as analgesic but its not recommended as a medical treatment of pain. I would suggest you to visit an ENT specialist asap. For the relief of pain, analgesics like etoricoxib can be used.
Hope this helps.
