Patient's question:
My husband went to a dinner party last night. He seemed to drink a lot of alcohol and got blackout drunk. His face was completely red. I suspect my husband might be suffering from alcohol poisoning, but I still want to ask the doctor to verify it. What are the symptoms of alcohol poisoning?Doctor's answer:
Mild alcohol intoxication may repeatedly cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and dry heaving. Severe alcohol intoxication may repeatedly lead to symptoms such as unresponsiveness to (being called), irregular breathing, loss of consciousness, and muscle twitching. If a patient repeatedly exhibits unresponsiveness due to alcohol poisoning, it is recommended to immediately send them to the hospital for alcohol detoxification or undergo relevant examinations. When a patient repeatedly vomits, turn their head to one side to prevent vomit from blocking the airway, which could lead to breathing difficulties.
