Will smoking weed with an outer ear infection make it worse, i havent been able to sleep in 2 days and nothing is helping the pain. if i were to smoke would it make it worse or would it help with the pain and not cause any problems?

Weed should not exacerbate the otitis externa but I doubt its effectiveness in acute pain. You may need oral antibiotic and topical drops besides the pain pill(s). Please see your doctor for the correct diagnosis and treatment. Good luck.
