Suggest Remedy For Throat Pain With Chesty Cough After Smoking Meth

I smoked and snorted Meth for the first time and definitely the last time! Immediately after either smoking or snorting, I got a chesty, cough with phlegm and currently, my throat hurts immensely where I cannot even eat anything. What would the best remedy for treating a sore throat as such. Secondly, as I smoked and snorted Meth three days ago, could my throat possibly be infected? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes, there is possibility of infection, plus can do strep test. Do gargles of Povidine iodine or Betadine, cough syrup. It is best to avoid meth in future as you seems to lead to allergy also. Drink coconut water, it's good for it. Take CBT therapy from psychologist for meth related issues as it can cause heart attack, and respiratory problems.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
