Is Smoking Marijuana Advisable When Diagnosed With Pericoronitis?

Hello, I've been diagnosed with pericoronitis which is a wisdom tooth infection, and I wanted to know of it could smoke weed while dealing with the infection. It is not a mayor infection and I was only recommended to increase the frequency of my dental cleaning. Since it's a dental hygiene issue I don't think it'should a mayor problem but I wanted to ask first and also I have a small wound on my foot and I'm having to take keral, tempra and posipen.
