Patient's question:
How to care for someone who has become quadriplegic after drinking cola?Doctor's answer:
Hello, warm welcome for your consultation. Generally speaking, drinking cola does not directly cause quadriplegia. If quadriplegia occurs, further investigation into the cause is necessary. It is essential to rule out hypokalemia and actively correct hypokalemia, among other things. Cola is a carbonated beverage. It can easily lead to hypocalcemia. However, it rarely causes hypokalemia. Drinking a large amount of cola can lead to poor appetite, affecting the absorption of nutrients and alleviating hypokalemia.
