Will Smoking A Small Amount Of Marijuana During Chicken Pox Can Worsen The Condition?
hi, im 20 years old, i recently caught a bad case of chicken pox from my younger sisters and the pimples on my head in particular are extremely painful, and a very sore throat make it nearly impossible to sleep at night. past 3 nights i got about 3-4 hrs total. i used to smoke marijuana once in a while when i had trouble sleeping to help me fall asleep. also found it helped numb any various aches and pains i might have had. im curious to know if smoking a small amount of marijuana while im sick with chicken pox could do me any good or could it worsen the conditions?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Chicken pox is viral infection and this infection need to be taken extra care otherwise any thing could flair up the infection it is better not to take the narcotic, although this could act as analgesic but hare the action of this would be different, take care have nice day.
