I'm a bit confused and worried about the results from my recent CT scan. It mentioned complete opacification of the left maxillary antrum and polypoid thickening on the right side. Could you help me understand what this means?

I'm currently on cephalexin for my tonsillitis and I'm just curious, is it okay to smoke marijuana while taking this medication? I'm worried if it might make the cephalexin less effective or if there could be any bad reactions.

I would not recommend smoking marijuana while taking cephalexin for tonsillitis. Smoking marijuana can potentially decrease the effectiveness of cephalexin and may also increase the risk of certain side effects. It is best to avoid smoking marijuana while on this antibiotic.
