A member asked:

Would smoking weed affect my inner ear infection in anyway?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Smoking both weed and tobacco are irritants to the cells that line the nasal passages and airway and diminish the cell's ability to clear secretions and bacteria. The middle ear connects with the nasopharynx via the Eustacean tube, and congestion in the nose prolongs healing. There is documentation of increased ear infections in infants exposed to second hand smoke.
