Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain And Vomiting

Hi my friend has severe abdominal pain after drinking alcohol and is throwing up foam, he was throwing up blood, I want to take him to the hospital but he doesnt have money to pay for it, is there something that I can give him at home to treat his pain? Also, how soon after consuming alcohol can you take medicine?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

He is having severe gastritis due to alcohol consumption. First please tell him not to take any more alcohol. Do not give him any pain killers or that will further increase pain. He should be taking fresh juices and fluids. Make hi sit up straight to avoid vomiting and aspiration. Also make him wear loose clothes and make him sit in the open if the weather permits. He can take anti gastritis medication like pantoprazole 40 mg this will decrease stomach acid formation. Nothing should be given by mouth for 30 minutes after taking pantoprazole for best results. He should take home cooked soft diet for the next 2 - 3 days and spices must be avoided.
