Is Smoking Marijuana Safe To Cure Nausea Caused After Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Hi, I had my wisdom teeth pulled 5 days ago now and haven't been able to eat very much and have been very nauseous, I was wondering if I was safe to smoke marijuana to help with the nausea and help me get to sleep. I've not smoked since before my surgery and was curious if I was clear of getting dry socket or at least not very likely.

Hi..

Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain nausea after extraction of wisdom tooth seems to be due to side effects of medications that might be given to you that is antibiotics and it is temporary and will resolve once the medicine intake will be stopped..

As far as smoking Marijuana is concerned, it is completely a bad idea as smoking is harmful as it will delay healing as well as can also cause dislodgement of the healing tissue due to negative pressure build inside mouth during sucking the cigeratte smoke..

I would suggest you to take Ondensarton to relieve nausea as well as taking a nutritious diet can also help..
Take lemon water and probiotics like Yoghurt..
In case if there is no improvement consult your treating dentist and get evaluated and if needed dose reduction or changing the medication is must..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
