Patient's question:
My father is 48 years old this year. Recently, he often has problems with his stomach. He can drink a lot of beer, almost a liter a day. I don't know if it's because of this reason. Now, even a little bit of alcohol makes him vomit, and it's not just dry heaving, but he also often has abdominal pain and vomits a lot of mucus.Doctor's answer:
Patient is male, 48 years old, with a long history of alcohol consumption. Currently, he is experiencing nausea after drinking again. If there is no recurrence of hematemesis, but only dry retching of stomach contents, conditions such as ulcers, cholecystitis, and cirrhosis should be considered. It is recommended that the patient quit smoking and maintain a light diet. If the current issue persists, the patient should undergo a comprehensive health check-up at the hospital. For the patient, if the gastritis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, the condition may recur. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. It is hoped that the answers above can assist everyone. Thank you.
