Smoking marijuana shouldn't directly interfere with the effectiveness of penicillin, but it can affect your immune system and overall health, potentially slowing recovery. It's always best to avoid substances that might impair your body's healing process, especially when you're on antibiotics.

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I've been feeling some slight pain in my lower left rib area for the past 10 days. It's mostly noticeable when I lie down on my bed for a few seconds. It doesn't feel like the rib bones themselves are hurting, but more like something underneath or nearby them. I've never smoked and haven't had any lung issues in the past, but I did have COVID about a year ago. Do you think this could be something related to my lungs or heart?
