How Safe Is Use Of Cannabis During Mumps Infection?

Hey is it alright If I smoke or use cannabis extracts while I have the mumps? Right now its only been day one of the Mumps and just my Lymph glands are swollen. Ive been getting plenty of Vitamin C and I have Dayquil that has Acetometaphin to reduce the swelling But I just wanted to know if it would cause the mumps to worsen.

Hello,

Cannabis should not cause the mumps to worsen but may cause an increase in sedation and fatigue.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
