Weed and Sinus Infections, correlation?

[WeedFaerie420]

A few weeks ago I was having horrible tooth pain and constant headaches (they were more painful and prominent when I would smoke weed)--went to the dentist and only had one cavity. The tooth pain and head aches were actually caused by a sinus infection and the Dentist gave me some antibiotics--headaches went away.
I'm getting the same toothache & slight headache combo again now just a lot less frequent and a more dulled pain and I think it happens more when I'm burning.
Does anyone know if smoking too much weed can cause sinus infections?

I don't know if there's been an official, study-linked correlation between weed and sinus infections and headaches, but I've experienced what I think was a weed-aggravated sinus infection in the last couple of months when I was smoking, and I also noticed significant headaches related to the smoking, some connected to the sinus infection and some not. When I don't smoke, I don't get the headaches. But when I do smoke, I do, and they're killer headaches.

Consequently, no more smoking for me . . . .

Hmmm... Seems rather impossible to me.

THC [Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol] has Anti-biotic properties within it, and yes, this has been proven, so if anything it should make it better.

Although i know very well that everyone has a differnt reaction, but tbh i think it complete conincidence.

Wouldn't surprise me. Most cannabis smokers share smoking paraphernalia between a number of peers.

tobacco is known to give sinus infections when smoke is inhaled or exhaled through the nose because the nicotine paralyzes mucous membranes, making the nose dry and prone to virii and bacteria.

if you dont smoke cigs i doubt its from the weed.

being diagnosed with chronic sinusitis multiple times, i can tell you that refraining from blowing or inhaling any smoke from your nose will help the situation, and possibly prevent it.

the post above me had a good point too.

Thanks for all the comments. I dont blow smoke through my nose though. Birdgirl, your situation sounds a lot like how mine is starting. So you are permanently quitting weed because of your sinus headaches/infections?

For sinus infections use diluted oil of oregano in a squeeze dropper.

Grandma showed me this as a kid.

Later.
