Smoke

Hello i had my no 48 wisdom tooth removed on thursday morning and its been nearly 3 days now. What i wanted to know was i have noticed yesterday and today that the gum which had folded over the extraction site has receeded and left behind a thin white strand of tissue. is this a normal part of the healing process. I am not in any pain and have not smoked since the day of extraction (before). Also i know your advice will be to stop permanently but how long should i wait till i can smoke again

The tissue tag should resolve in 7-14 days max. rinse with warm water (mix in salt) 3-5 times a day to help keep the wound clean. smoking is a personal choice. IF you truly have NOT smoked post extraction you may start now. ...

Hello im Jesse im 18 years old and I have been having problems with swollen hurting l ymphnodes in my throat and neck for the past year. I have gone to multiple doctors nd have had tests done and they cant seem to find out why. Or they tell me just to ignore it nd it will go away but I've had this for a year now with no getting better. So its brings me to my question . I have been smoke mmarijuana for a couple years at least 6 times a day and i realized maybe thats why so I went looking online nd found and article with someone of the same symptoms who had also smoke weed for a long time . So my question is do you think over smoking marijuana for long periods of time could be causing my lymphnodes to swell

Less likely will Wed directly lead to lymph nodes...however wed does reduce immunity of oral cavity, nose and throat and so high chance of minor infection ..leading to lymphnode......get your blood tested, get a throat swab...and take a good course of antibiotics...should work.. let me know if blood tests have been done ...

Hello doctor..I have been experiencing acidity from nearly 2 years.. And now I feel it was because of peptic ulcer.. Because the symptoms match except there is no blood in the stools or in the vomit. I haven't done endoscopy yet ..and I'm not sure whether I have a peptic ulcer or not..Im a teen and I have been smoking and eating alot of spicy food occasionally for couple of years has the smoking caused the peptic ulcer? And can I continue to smoke after my peptic ulcer is healed.??Thankyou..

Amrut, Acidity symptoms are not all the time due to presence of ulcers. Yes hyperacidity may lead to formation of ulcers in long term. But certainly if this is long standing problem and in presence of smoking, you need further work up and should go for endoscopy. ...
