Introduction
Physiological and pathological factors can cause vomiting after drinking alcohol the previous day, such as cholecystitis or acute gastritis. Treatment should be conducted under a doctor's guidance through general management, oral medications, or surgery. In addition, vomiting whatever is eaten after drinking may also result from gastric ulcers, requiring patients to actively identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment accordingly.
What one eats and then vomits the next day after drinking alcohol can be caused by both physiological and pathological factors, such as cholecystitis or acute gastritis. Treatment should be conducted under a doctor's guidance through general management, oral medications, or surgery.
I. Physiological Causes
Alcohol is an irritant beverage. Excessive drinking can irritate the gastric mucosa. Drinking too much often leads to damage of the gastric mucosa, resulting in vomiting symptoms the following day. Patients may consume light, easily digestible foods such as noodles or millet porridge, which can effectively alleviate symptoms.
II. Pathological Causes
1. Cholecystitis
Excessive alcohol consumption often damages the liver and affects bile production, potentially triggering cholecystitis, accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Under medical guidance, patients may take medications such as Xiaoyan Libiao Tablets (anti-inflammatory and bile-promoting tablets) or Dehydrocholic Acid Tablets.
2. Acute Gastritis
Drinking large amounts of alcohol or consuming irritating foods while drinking can irritate the gastric mucosa, leading to acute gastritis. Common symptoms include acid reflux, stomach pain, and vomiting. As directed by a physician, patients may take oral medications such as famotidine calcium magnesium chewable tablets or omeprazole enteric-coated capsules.
In addition, vomiting whatever is eaten after drinking may also be caused by gastric ulcers. Patients should actively identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment accordingly.
