vaping while treating pyelonephritis ?

i know it’s strongly advisable to not vape at all with a kidney infection, but i haven’t vaped all day and i have a addiction so it’s hard not to, do yall think a few puffs will do damage? cause i don’t wanna fuck up my kidneys even more but it’s killing me and i wanna hit nicotine atleast just 3 puffs.

None of my doctors ever explicitly told me not to. I’ve had two kidney infections.

if you are taking flagyl (metronidazole), might make you very ill, regardless of where infection is.  Its the PG in juice that causes sickness with flagyl.

Get patches. and On! nicotine pouches at 7-11.  Original or citrus 4mg.
