Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? How should we deal with severe alcohol poisoning?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after alcohol poisoning, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. It is recommended that you go to the emergency department of a regular hospital for relief. If the symptoms are mild, intravenous fluids, furosemide, or naltrexone can be used for relief. If the poisoning is severe, gastric lavage must be performed, and hormones should be administered simultaneously. If intracranial pressure is too high, dehydration to lower intracranial pressure may be required. We hope this information is helpful to you. In cases of severe alcohol poisoning, you should not force the person to quit drinking, as this may lead to a recurrence of withdrawal syndrome, which could result in the re-emergence of many psychiatric symptoms.
