Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Flu Symptoms, Nausea And Weakness After Excessive Drinking Without Eating?
I think I have dehydrated myself I was outside all day yesterday had a half dozen beers came home didn t have a proper dinner had a couple rum and Cokes and went to bed woke up the next morning not so bad when I first woke up and then I start to feel real nausea and I was weak almost flu like symptoms if I continue to drink water will that be enough to rehydrate me
This might be from acute gastritis following drinking. Take an antacid like Ranitidine for 5 days and avoid hot/spicy/caffeinated items for 1 week. Drink plenty of fluids and include green leafy vegetables and fruits in diet. If not improving in 3-5 days, we can evaluate further.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
