Suggest Remedy For Bleeding In The Throat
I had a lot of drink last firday night to the point of almost passing out. I never had dinner prior to drinking and only had a banana and a canned juice. The next day when I woke up, i feel like puking so I did. It was pure alcohol or some sort that I vomitted. When I was clearing my throat and spit it out, i noticed a significant amount of blood on it. I thought that maybe I just hurt a part of my throat or what and it should be nothing serious. But because such incident keep on coming back into my mind, i keep forcing on cleaning my throat until Sunday night that I noticed a blood again. Is it something serious or maybe I just irritated my throat due to constant throat cleaning to te point ints drying already?

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question. Nothing to worry. Alcohol can damage the gastric mucosa. The excessive alcohol has irritated your gastric mucosa and made you to vomit. The forceful vomiting would have caused bleeding from already damaged mucosa. The frequent clearing of throat could also cause damage to throat mucosa and bleeding.
I recommend the following.
1) Cut down your alcohol intake and never have it in empty stomach.
2) Dont take coffee or tea in empty stomach before breakfast.
3) Proton pump inhibitors to treat gastritis preferably Tab Rabeprazole everyday in empty stomach.
4) Take your dinner at least 2 hours before going to bed.
You will be OK. Wish you a speedy recovery.
If you have any further questions you can ask me on healthcare magic.
