Hello,
My father has been a lifelong alcoholic to the point he drinks nearly a case of beer daily, add half a fifth of whiskey, and MIGHT eat a piece of toast or a bowl of cereal during the day. Day before yesterday he drank this much, did not eat, vomited all night long, fell down repeatedly, cut himself.....just a bad deal. Yesterday, he tried to eat, vomited it up, and drank as much alcohol again. Again, he was up all night vomiting. This moring his face is extremely swollen, his jaw is abnormally swollen & his tongue swelling too. Mother is taking him to the emergency room. Aside from being a hardcore alcoholic, what is causing the swelling?
