Nausea and vomiting. Practical recommendations for treatment


It is not for nothing that vomiting is considered a protective reaction of the body.
It makes it possible to promptly remove toxic substances from the stomach before they are absorbed into the bloodstream and cause serious poisoning. However, in some cases the protective reflex does not work, and then vomiting has to be induced independently. On the Internet you can find 1000 and 1 way to provoke a gag reflex. But not all of them are safe and effective. Let's consider the most effective methods that will not harm the body.

The dangers of long-term drinking

Heavy drinking leads to the development of severe pathologies:

  • Hepatitis, liver cirrhosis;
  • Pancreatitis;
  • Gastrointestinal diseases (gastritis, ulcers, colitis, IBS, etc.);
  • Infection with infectious diseases due to decreased immunity;
  • Development of central nervous system diseases such as epilepsy;
  • Severe mental disorders, destruction of brain cells.

The life of a person prone to binge drinking is shortened due to the development of severe diseases of internal organs. In addition, as a result of alcoholism, criminal episodes often occur: drunken brawls, murders, theft, neglect of children, etc.

Signs indicating severe intoxication

Symptoms of alcohol poisoning and vomiting appear a few hours after drinking or the next day. Narcologists often observe a reflex eruption of stomach contents with inclusions of blood. Bloody impurities indicate severe irritation of the gastrointestinal mucous membranes with alcohol or internal bleeding. Both reasons are very dangerous.

Ailments that occur the morning after drinking demonstrate an increase in the concentration of toxic acetaldehyde in the blood. The level of this component increases gradually. The more a person drinks, the worse his health will be.

There is no need to think that poisoning after drinking alcohol is safe. This is wrong. Of course, if a person does not have alcohol addiction and chronic diseases, he will most likely be able to recover on his own. However, no one can give such a guarantee. Refusal to receive medical advice is always bringing oneself closer to serious violations.

It is especially important to consult with a narcologist if, after drinking, you experience:


  • nausea, vomiting;
  • unproductive vomiting, due to which a large amount of saliva is released, it is not possible to drink even ordinary water;
  • severe headaches;
  • constant thirst;
  • feeling of “goosebumps” running over the skin, numbness of the limbs;
  • difficulties with orientation in space;
  • a sharp increase or, conversely, decrease in blood pressure;
  • gradual decline of basic neurological reflexes.

If vomiting that develops due to alcohol poisoning is very severe, a life-threatening disruption of the heart rhythm may occur. The person also runs the risk of falling into a coma and dying.

Is it possible to get out of binge drinking on your own?

Narcologists say that the best way out of binge drinking is to go to a drug treatment clinic. The specialist assesses the severity of the alcohol addict’s condition, determines current pharmacotherapy and detoxification measures based on the condition of the addict’s body.

When diseases develop in a latent (hidden) form, independent attempts to remove alcohol from the body end very badly: the “golden hour” of providing medical care is lost.

In order to urgently remove alcohol from the body, you need to induce vomiting. There are several ways to cleanse your stomach:

  • Drink 1.5-2 liters of warm salted water and press on the root of the tongue;
  • Dissolve a small amount of potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate) in warm water. Stir the mixture thoroughly until completely dissolved, and then drink. If nausea does not come on its own, press on the root of the tongue with two fingers;
  • Drink strong black tea with milk and a pinch of salt. Two cups of salted tea are enough to induce vomiting.

Often, after a binge, a person has no appetite, but to prevent the development of gastritis and ulcers, you should eat food often and in small portions. Consumption of fried, smoked and over-salted foods is prohibited. Give preference to light soups, dairy and fermented milk products.

In alcoholics, for aversion to alcohol

You can cause a persistent aversion to alcohol in an alcoholic by vomiting. Among the folk methods, the following remedies are often used.

Lobel's hellebore

The prepared product can be used without the knowledge of the patient. First you need to prepare a tincture: pour 10 grams of crushed root with vodka (100 ml) and leave for 10 days in a warm, dark place. To induce severe vomiting, add no more than 4-5 drops to alcohol (per bottle). After about 20 minutes, the person will begin to feel sick and then vomit. To achieve the effect, you need to use the product twice a week.

So, 1 tbsp. l. pour a glass of warm water over the product, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Leave for 1 hour. Add the product to alcohol at the rate of 1 tbsp. l. per 100 grams of alcoholic beverage. The first vomiting occurs within 30 minutes. Course duration – 1 month. Frequency of use: twice a week.

Prohibitions to remember


All of the above methods of providing first aid to people with alcohol intoxication should be used while the doctor is on the way. Imagining oneself as a luminary of science and trying to cure a person with severe poisoning is very risky. There is no need to give the patient medication. The only exceptions are sorbents that speed up the elimination of alcohol. But before using them, you should carefully read the information in the instructions.

Many drugs cannot be combined with ethyl alcohol. But only doctors know about this. It turns out that, wanting to alleviate the suffering of an alcohol addict, relatives can harm him. Illiterate drug correction can even lead to failure of vital organs. This is deadly.

It is forbidden to give a person a hangover

the day after the feast. Drinking alcohol does make you feel better for a while, but it increases the level of intoxication. This means that the toxic load on the body becomes more pronounced. Then it will take a very long time to recover.

Doctors prohibit dousing a person who has taken a large amount of alcohol with ice water or steaming them in a sauna or bathhouse. All these are extreme methods of traditional treatment. Often, it is after their implementation that cardiac failure begins. It is better to call a narcologist and wait for his arrival.

Attention! Attempts to lavage the stomach of a person who is in a semi-conscious or unconscious state lead to suffocation with vomit and instant death. You cannot induce vomiting if the patient loses consciousness.

When to call a doctor

Calling a doctor is necessary in the following situations:

  • A person is on a drinking binge for more than a day;
  • Inappropriate mental reactions have arisen (delusions, hallucinations, aggression, etc.);
  • A sharp deterioration in health;
  • The appearance of cravings for alcohol;
  • Development of withdrawal syndrome;
  • Hangover.

Specialists of the Narcologist-24 clinic provide professional drug treatment assistance using modern equipment. Extensive work experience and an individual approach to each person help to achieve the best results of therapy together with an alcohol addict.

Dehydration

Adults are not so afraid of this consequence of vomiting, since they can prevent it. It is not difficult for them to identify thirst and dry mouth, correcting the problem with a glass of water. But this can have serious consequences for children. They are most likely to fail to report symptoms of dehydration, especially preschoolers and younger children. If vomiting is accompanied by diarrhea, the risks increase. Therefore, every parent or other caregiver must know the signs of dehydration:

  • dry lips and mouth;
  • increased heart rate and breathing;
  • sunken eyes;
  • pallor;
  • crying without tears;
  • decreased urination.
