Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? How is chronic alcoholism treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, chronic alcohol poisoning. The most important treatment is to successfully quit drinking. You have been drinking for a long time. If you suddenly stop drinking, you will experience nervous weakness, palpitations, sweating, tremors, and various discomforts. In severe cases, you may experience withdrawal symptoms again, which can even be life-threatening. You need to drink again to alleviate the withdrawal symptoms, thus forming a vicious cycle of repeated drinking. Quitting alcohol is best done in a psychiatric department using drug substitution therapy to overcome the withdrawal period.
