Suggest Treatment For Sinus Infection

I believe I'm getting a sinus infection and am taking my allergy medicine (benodryl, allertec, and sudaphed). While sick I've taken vitamin C tablets once a day. I know about the healing qualities in THC but I also know that any smoke irritates the nasal passage ways. While taking all of these precautions is marijuana a bad way to go? I love marijuana and a good night sleep sounds like it would better my condition.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain Marijuana smoking can be harmful in case of sinus infection as well as allergies as it can irritate the sinuses as well as it can also cause irritation and constriction of bronchiole leading to vigorous coughing and throat irritation and excessive mucous production..
I would suggest you to completely avoid smoking for betterment of the health of your sinuses and body..
You should continue taking the medications as advised to you and along with it you can also do steam inhalations, warm saline gargles and saline nasal irrigations..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
