Severe vomiting in a child: what to do and how to help the baby

The dangers of long-term drinking

Heavy drinking leads to the development of severe pathologies:

• Hepatitis, liver cirrhosis;
• Pancreatitis;
• Gastrointestinal diseases (gastritis, ulcers, colitis, IBS, etc.);
• Infection with infectious diseases due to decreased immunity;
• Development of central nervous system diseases such as epilepsy;
• Severe mental disorders, destruction of brain cells.

The life of a person prone to binge drinking is shortened due to the development of severe diseases of internal organs. In addition, as a result of alcoholism, criminal episodes often occur: drunken brawls, murders, theft, neglect of children, etc.

Inducing vomiting for weight loss

You should not induce vomiting after eating to lose weight. This leads to big problems for the body. As a result of such an aggressive method of losing weight, the body becomes dehydrated, and from repeated procedures of inducing vomiting, such serious diseases as:

• bulimia,
• anorexia,
• digestive system disorder,
• cardiovascular diseases.

Such diseases are very difficult to treat. Therefore, you should not risk your health.

Is it possible to get out of binge drinking on your own?

Narcologists say that the best way out of binge drinking is to go to a drug treatment clinic. The specialist assesses the severity of the alcohol addict’s condition, determines current pharmacotherapy and detoxification measures based on the condition of the addict’s body.

When diseases develop in a latent (hidden) form, independent attempts to remove alcohol from the body end very badly: the “golden hour” of providing medical care is lost.

Trigger

According to official data, about 5% of people worldwide suffer from trichotillomania. But this figure is inaccurate, since the lion's share of patients hide their addiction. People are able to hide their addiction for 20 years.

The majority of patients are women. More often, the disease debuts in childhood or adolescence, less often in the range of 20-30 years, and even less often after 40.

The development of the disease is based on the emerging feeling of tension and anxiety. The cause may be a guilt complex, fear, anger, anger and many other conditions that provoke a feeling of anxiety.

The skin where hair grows is well innervated thanks to a dense network of nerve fibers. This increases her sensitivity. A person who pulls out a hair feels pain. In this way, the patient switches attention from mental stress to physical sensations.

Self-inflicted pain acts as a way of self-punishment. Trichotillomaniac uses this method to relieve the stress that torments him. Endorphins, released under the influence of painful impulses, give a feeling of satisfaction, but only for a short time. Soon the feeling returns. The process is repeated.

There is an assumption that the disorder can also satisfy masochistic desires. Allegedly, the patient deliberately intensifies the pain in order to subsequently receive pleasure when the pain subsides. But this theory is just a guess.

How to get out of binge drinking smoothly

Slow withdrawal from binge drinking is necessary to minimize the severity of withdrawal symptoms. The following recommendations are relevant if you are unable to seek help from professionals. In other cases, it is necessary to call a narcology team to your home.

How to induce vomiting

In order to urgently remove alcohol from the body, you need to induce vomiting. There are several ways to cleanse your stomach:

• Drink 1.5-2 liters of warm salted water and press on the root of the tongue;
• Dissolve a small amount of potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate) in warm water. Stir the mixture thoroughly until completely dissolved, and then drink. If nausea does not come on its own, press on the root of the tongue with two fingers;
• Drink strong black tea with milk and a pinch of salt. Two cups of salted tea are enough to induce vomiting.

It is important to note that to induce vomiting you need to drink a large amount of liquid. Otherwise, concentrated alcohol together with gastric juice can burn the mucous membranes of the throat and mouth.

What to drink when recovering from binge drinking at home

To cleanse your body as quickly as possible, you need to drink plenty of water. It would be a good idea to use chicken broth to strengthen the immune system and “calm” the walls of the stomach. In addition, you can drink herbal infusions and compotes to strengthen the body.

Anti-binge pills

During a hangover, it is important to use the following medications:

• Analgin for hangover

  for the relief of pain syndromes (migraine, joint pain). In case of intense pain, the use of ketorol is allowed;

• Sorbents

  : Enterosgel, Activated carbon, Polysorb for removing toxins;

• Linex, Hilak forte

  — to improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, combat dysbacteriosis;

• Almagel, De-nol

  - decreased gastric secretion;

• Essentuki, Regidron solution

  - to restore mineral balance.

During withdrawal symptoms, it is necessary to seek the help of narcologists: otherwise, severe pathologies develop. Drugs such as Donormil, Enalapril, Valocordin, etc. It is not recommended to take without a specialist's prescription.

Eating when recovering from binge drinking

Often, after a binge, a person has no appetite, but to prevent the development of gastritis and ulcers, you should eat food often and in small portions. Consumption of fried, smoked and over-salted foods is prohibited. Give preference to light soups, dairy and fermented milk products.

What are the consequences after inducing vomiting?

This aggressive method of cleansing the body has certain consequences.

If you induce vomiting once, there will be no big problems. It is important that such a reaction is not caused just like that, but, for example, to preserve health in case of acute poisoning. In this case, you cannot do without inducing vomiting. You just need to follow all safety measures.

With repeated and frequent induction of vomiting, the body weakens and is exposed to danger. Therefore, use this method only for first aid purposes.

Knowing how to quickly induce vomiting after eating is very useful. With this you can save a person's life. But, in order to avoid this, you should eat proper and healthy food and not eat harmful foods.

How to make an urgent withdrawal from binge drinking at home?

Specialists from the Narcologist-24 clinic will help you cope with withdrawal from alcohol. A team of experienced narcologists promptly travels to addresses in Moscow and the Moscow region.

After an examination and history taking, the professional provides medical assistance: administers IVs (using saline solutions, etc.) and injections, resorts to individual pharmacotherapy, and also provides psychological assistance.

• Participation of qualified psychotherapists to create motivation for treatment;
• Comprehensive treatment of alcohol addiction;
• Help for relatives of an alcohol addict.

Carrying out the procedure, simple tips

On the Internet you can find a lot of advice on removing temporary teeth, containing both descriptions of traditional methods and absurd proposals using improvised means. It is always important to think about the safety of the action for the child’s health and the possible consequences; it is better to give preference to one of the following two methods:

• use fingers and a handkerchief;
• apply thread.

Regardless of which manipulation it is decided to remove the milk duct, both participants in the procedure need preliminary preparation aimed at preventing infection. Before pulling out a baby tooth, an adult should thoroughly wash their hands with soap, and a child should rinse their mouth with warm water.

You can remove the milk jug like this: take a clean cloth, grab it and sharply pull it up if the tooth grows from the lower jaw or down if it grows from the upper jaw. This manipulation usually scares children, so they often resort to a more popular method. How to pull out a child's baby tooth using floss:

• Position the light source so that the oral cavity is well illuminated.
• Take a nylon thread about 30 cm long; tie one end to the loose tooth, making 4–5 turns around it; wrap the other around the index and middle fingers of an adult.
• Make a sharp movement with your hand, jerking your hand down if the milk duct grows on the upper jaw or upward for cases where the tooth is on the lower jaw.

Tooth extraction, if all conditions are met, takes no more than 5 minutes and is not accompanied by pain or other unpleasant sensations. Correctly performed manipulation does not leave the child afraid of the dentist and manipulations in the oral cavity.

Tips on how to pull out a tooth yourself correctly:

• position the thread so that it does not touch the lip, otherwise there is a risk of injury;
• do not use improvised means and tools;
• make sure the milk jug is ready to be removed.

If the tooth is well loosened, but the child is afraid to remove it with floss or fingers, and does not want to go to the doctor, you can give it an apple to chew on - solid food will cause the duct to fall out quickly and without pain.

The main ways to get rid of binge drinking

Attempts to independently bring a person out of binge drinking may fail due to psychological cravings for alcohol. This means that quitting binge drinking on your own is not recommended. The methods below are only relevant for mild hangovers.

Detoxification at home

Breaking out of binge drinking at home should be carried out with the participation of professionals. The doctor uses droppers to cleanse the bloodstream of ethyl alcohol metabolites, and medications to restore the functioning of internal organs and mental functions. In difficult situations, hospitalization in a hospital is necessary.

Detoxification using folk remedies

There are no folk remedies that can cure alcohol addiction. Some folk recipes help to slightly alleviate the condition, but high-quality therapy involves resorting to traditional medicine.

Cabbage pickle for hangover

After drinking alcohol, the body becomes dehydrated and loses minerals. Cucumber and cabbage brine help cope with thirst and replenish the vitamin and mineral balance in the body.

Corvalol for hangover

Corvalol is used to combat insomnia and lower blood pressure. Only a doctor should determine the dosage of the drug, since the medication contains a potent substance - phenobarbital.

Glycine during binge drinking

Glycine helps to activate mental functions and improve mood. To achieve a therapeutic effect, the use of Glycine must be systematic.

Analgin for hangover

Analgin is used to relieve pain syndromes, but the use of analgesics is prohibited while intoxicated.

Lemon after drinking

Vitamin C strengthens the body's protective functions, helps to quickly remove ethanol from the body and give it tone. It is allowed to drink water with a small amount of lemon.

How to get sober long term

A longer lasting effect is somewhat more difficult to achieve - it is necessary to remove as much as possible all traces of alcohol in the body, restore the acid-base balance and the functioning of biochemical mechanisms.

Initially, you need to completely eliminate all traces of alcoholic beverages from the body. In addition to artificial vomiting, it is advisable to do a cleansing enema - it will allow you to empty the intestines and stop absorption. However, the procedure is not only unpleasant, but also requires additional equipment - a tube, an Esmarch mug and other medical instruments. It will be quite difficult to perform the manipulation on your own.

That is why, as an alternative, narcologists recommend enterosorption - the process of cleansing the gastrointestinal tract with the help of special drugs - enterosorbents. They act according to the laws of osmosis, so they do not cause any biochemical changes in the blood. Activated carbon is considered one of the most famous representatives of the group, but few people know that to achieve the effect, you need to drink about 15 tablets at a time, with plenty of water. It is more convenient to take other medications - Polysorb, Atoxil, Enterosgel. They are available in finished form or as a powder for solution.

It is important to constantly maintain water balance - alcohol redistributes intercellular fluid, causing dehydration of all cells of the body. You need to drink clean water, you can choose mineral water - this normalizes salt metabolism. If you are not prone to allergic reactions, try fruit juices - grape, apple, pomegranate. The additional vitamins and glucose they contain improve overall health.

After completing all the activities, there is a need for energy saturation - proper nutrition after an active feast. Food should be easily digestible, but at the same time rich in proteins and important structural microelements. It is better to choose dietary white meat or fish, whole grain porridge and fiber-rich vegetables. Also, many experts agree that you should supplement your diet with dairy products - they not only create an enveloping effect on the walls of the stomach, but also normalize the balance of intestinal microflora.

Medicines that can additionally be used in this situation are drugs of different directions of action:

• Diuretics. Although alcoholic drinks themselves have a diuretic effect, it is worth accelerating the elimination of toxic substances in the urine. It is better to choose Spironolactone (Veroshpiron) - the well-known Furosemide, Torasemide and other diuretics do not retain potassium, which can lead to serious consequences, electrolyte imbalances and even affect the functioning of the heart.
• Antioxidants. Vitamin C is considered a remedy that can normalize metabolic processes and improve the nutrition of body cells. Ascorbic acid activates the synthesis of proteins and hormones, improves the detoxification function of the liver. It is important to ensure that the dose of the drug does not exceed the recommended daily dose.
• Neurotropic agents. B vitamins improve neuromuscular reactions and restore damaged nerve tissue. The main vitamin of this group is thiamine (B1). It promotes the production of coenzymes that break down ethyl alcohol into carbon dioxide and water. An ampoule with thiamine can be diluted in a small amount of water and drunk. Vitamin B6 also has a pronounced detoxifying effect.
• Amino acids. They improve liver function, while stimulating the detoxification functions of the body, and have an antioxidant and protective effect for cells. They also prevent inhibition of the work of alcohol dehydrogenase, the main enzyme for the utilization of ethyl alcohol.
• Aspirin. Many people try to normalize their condition with acetylsalicylic acid. The drug improves the rheological properties of blood, preventing the formation of microthrombi, and also has an analgesic effect. However, taking this medicine does not remove the cause of the bad condition, but only masks its symptoms.

Combination drugs with special effects can also often be found on sale.

It is contraindicated to use the following drugs:

• Drinking a new portion of alcohol. Contrary to popular belief, “having a hangover” is completely ineffective - it causes an additional blow to the body, and also leads to the formation of addiction.
• Heavy food. Rich meat broths, red meat and other similar products slow down the process of eliminating toxins.

Visiting the sauna is a controversial option. Exposure to high temperatures speeds up metabolism, but don't recommend it to someone you don't know well. If you have heart problems, the result can be disastrous.

Contraindications when quitting binge drinking

There are several contraindications for quitting binge drinking on your own:

• Long 10-day binge

  is an absolute contraindication for independent exit. Severe alcohol dependence requires therapy with the participation of experienced specialists;

• Sharp deterioration in health

  . The appearance of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other symptoms of acute pathologies should alert you. It is necessary to call an ambulance;

• The appearance of unwanted psychotic reactions

  . If an alcohol addict experiences aggression, suicidal thoughts and attempts, delusions of persecution and hallucinations, you should contact a professional.

When talking about how to get a person out of binge drinking, it is important to take into account the need for an integrated approach: a combination of detoxification measures and psychotherapy. Otherwise, after leaving the binge, the person resumes drinking alcohol.

Preparing a child for tooth extraction

Before pulling out a child’s tooth, it is important to carry out psychological preparation - explain in a calm voice the essence of the procedure and its purpose, emphasizing that it is not painful and quick. You can come up with a fairytale story about the milkman's journey or tell that mom and dad also had their temporary teeth pulled out.

You also need to ask the child to swing the tooth as much as possible with his tongue - this will make it possible to quickly pull it out of the gums. When the milkman wobbles, its short nerve endings are torn off or pulled out of the canals, so there is no pain syndrome.

FAQ

How to get out of a long drinking binge?

Binge drinking can have varying durations, from two days to several weeks. Prolonged binge drinking leads to rapid destruction of organs and systems, as well as brain functions. Over time, memory loss, difficulty concentrating and thinking processes occur. Coming out of a long-term binge has several nuances:

• Need for hospitalization

  . As a result of the formation of mental dependence and being in an unfavorable environment, there is a risk of breakdown. This means that the patient should be isolated from the environment for a while;

• Comprehensive detoxification

  . Pharmacotherapy, hardware detoxification methods and infusion solutions are used to cleanse the body of ethyl alcohol metabolites;

• Intensive psychotherapy

  . People in the later stages of alcohol addiction often lose criticality of their condition. A qualified psychotherapist helps you recognize the problem and get on the path to recovery;

How to reduce alcohol consumption when binge drinking?

A gradual reduction in the dosage of alcoholic beverages does not always lead to the desired result. In some cases, a low concentration of ethyl alcohol in the body causes alcohol withdrawal: the desire to drink alcohol rapidly increases. Such consequences can only be prevented through detoxification in a drug treatment clinic.

How to get sober in the short term

There are often circumstances in which it is necessary to get in shape for a short period of time - about half an hour. This is only possible during the elimination phase, when the amount of ethyl alcohol in the blood decreases. Then the use of physical methods of alcohol detoxification will be quite effective:

• First of all, go out into the fresh air and create cool conditions - this will slow down the negative effects of toxic substances.
• It is necessary to wash your face with cold water - this will narrow the peripheral blood vessels and slow down the spread of alcohol, invigorating.
• A contrast shower also helps improve the condition by stimulating the peripheral nervous system. If possible, you should take a cool bath, but do not make the water temperature extremely low.
• Massage your feet and earlobes, which are rich in nerve endings, to further activate the autonomic nervous system.
• If alcohol is still in the stomach, an effective method is to artificially induce vomiting - the remaining alcohol will come out and its concentration in the blood will not increase.
• It is important to take care of the freshness of your mouth - rinse with sparkling water, brush your teeth, chew mint chewing gum.
• Also, to increase the tone of the nervous system, you should drink strong black coffee or tea.

However, if a person has already developed an addiction to alcoholic beverages, such methods will be ineffective - alcoholics are resistant to physical means of emergency sobering up.

It is important that during a short-term return to a sober state, there are loved ones next to the drunk who are able to control his actions. Numerous scientific studies claim that at this time a person cannot adequately assess his own behavior; it seems to him that he is completely sober, but this is not so. It is important to stop it in time if you want to drive or commit other actions dangerous to health and life.

Soil for the development of the disease

Trichotillomania is provoked by various reasons:

1. Scientists are conducting research to confirm the genetic nature of the disease. It was found that the same gene, SLITKR1, was damaged in a number of patients.
2. Trichotillomania becomes a manifestation of a number of other mental disorders - schizophrenia, depression, neurosis, dementia. It is a symptom of bipolar affective disorder. In most cases, pathological hair pulling is a compulsive action within the framework of OCD - obsessive-compulsive disorder.
3. The disease provokes organic damage to the brain.
4. Lack of serotonin becomes a provocateur of the disorder.
5. Hormonal surges can rightfully claim a role in the occurrence of trichotillomania. The theory is confirmed by the fact that the disease flourishes in adolescence.
6. The disorder often develops in people with a special personality type – suspicious, scrupulous, sensitive.
7. Trichotillomania can be triggered by severe or prolonged chronic stress. The strongest emotional tension that arises during stress requires an outlet and finds it in such a perverted form.

Nausea, vomiting in women (including during pregnancy)

Nausea and vomiting, along with a throbbing headache, depressed mood, increased sweating and numbness of the hands, characterize the cephalgic form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
At the same time, blood pressure remains within normal limits. Unpleasant symptoms occur 2-10 days before menstrual bleeding in women with irregular cycles, a history of abortion or depression. Considering that the nervous system in women is more excitable than in men, nausea and vomiting during menstruation can be triggered by any unpleasant odor. Often, prolonged nausea without vomiting in women is a consequence of following a strict diet for a long time. The use of dubious food additives, a lack of essential microelements and vitamins, and the abuse of laxatives leads to chronic stress and disruption of the digestive tract. In addition to this, dysbacteriosis develops. The feeling of nausea goes away only after the intestinal microflora is normalized.

Nausea for no apparent reason is often the first sign of pregnancy. The unpleasant sensation is associated with a sharp increase in the level of the hCG hormone. Further hormonal changes in the female body, changes in metabolism and psychological stress often provoke vomiting 1-2 times a day, more often in the morning. The state of health returns to normal by the 13th week of pregnancy.

Early toxicosis (before 16-18 weeks of pregnancy)

• Mild degree - vomiting up to 5 times a day, the condition of the pregnant woman is satisfactory, the fetus is not in danger.
• Early toxicosis of moderate severity - vomiting up to 10 times a day, weight loss up to 3 kg, rapid pulse (up to 100 beats/min), acetone in the urine.
• Excessive vomiting of pregnancy (grade three) - vomiting up to 25 times a day, weight loss of more than 5%, dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Immediate medical intervention is required.

Important! Severe vomiting in early pregnancy may indicate a hydatidiform mole.

Regularly occurring nausea and vomiting in late pregnancy makes one suspect the development of preeclampsia, the third stage of late toxicosis (preeclampsia). This condition is preceded by the appearance of swelling of the limbs and face (stage 1), increased a/d and protein in the urine (nephropathy, stage 2 of gestosis). Without timely treatment of preeclampsia, seizures (eclampsia) develop and the risk of stroke is high. For the fetus, late toxicosis is fraught with hypoxia, delayed development and perinatal pathologies. There is a high risk of placental abruption and premature birth.

Important! Nausea and vomiting in a pregnant woman can also be caused by taking iron supplements to treat anemia, common gastroenteritis, or another disease.

When to call a doctor

Calling a doctor is necessary in the following situations:

• A person is on a drinking binge for more than a day;
• Inappropriate mental reactions have arisen (delusions, hallucinations, aggression, etc.);
• A sharp deterioration in health;
• The appearance of cravings for alcohol;
• Development of withdrawal syndrome;
• Hangover.

Specialists of the Narcologist-24 clinic provide professional drug treatment assistance using modern equipment. Extensive work experience and an individual approach to each person help to achieve the best results of therapy together with an alcohol addict.

How children's baby teeth are removed in the clinic

The structure of primary teeth is characterized by a number of features. Thin alveolar walls, low crowns, and lateral roots require special care, attention and skill from the doctor during the removal procedure. One wrong move and you can damage the buds of permanent teeth. For this reason, it is very important to find an experienced pediatric dentist who will not only carefully carry out the procedure for removing a baby tooth, but will also quickly find an approach to your child and treat him with care and attention.

Specialists at the Center for Modern Dentistry know how to remove a baby tooth painlessly. Modern painkillers are effective and safe for the child’s body: the child will not feel pain even with complex tooth extraction.

Caring for the child's psyche

So that over the years the child does not turn into an adult who trembles at the mere word “dentist,” you must definitely find a doctor for him who inspires confidence. A lot depends on the professionalism of the child specialist. Not the least important factor in preparing for a problem-free extraction is the attitude of the parents. They should remain calm and distract the baby, and not irritate him. It is imperative that mom or dad be with the child in the dental office.

Do not ignore the importance of baby teeth in the formation of a permanent bite. Treat them promptly in your child. Then his smile will always be healthy and beautiful.

What are the dangers of trichotillomania?

The consequences of the disease include physical and social impairment.

Among the physical consequences, it is worth highlighting the damage to the gastrointestinal tract that occurs when eating hair. During the process of trichophagia, a bezoar is formed in the stomach - a hairball. It causes a lot of inconvenience - from stomach pain to indigestion. The extreme of this disorder is called “Rapunzel syndrome” - a condition where a strand of hair extends from the stomach into the intestines.

Rapunzel syndrome is an extremely dangerous phenomenon that threatens the patient with death. A case was described in which a hairball weighing 4 kg was removed from a girl’s gastrointestinal tract.

In addition, eating hair affects the condition of tooth enamel.

Skin that is traumatized at the site where the hair follicle is pulled out can become infected. In addition, if you systematically remove hair in a certain area over a certain period of time, it grows more slowly. On the head, in the area of ​​eyelashes, eyebrows, complete baldness becomes an aesthetic problem.

The absence of eyelashes provokes vision problems:

• inflammation of the eyelids, mucous membranes of the eyes;
• conjunctivitis;
• blepharitis;
• furunculosis;
• microtrauma of the eye.

Socially, the disease causes no less problems than physically. Patients realize the absurdity of their condition, hide their pathological tendencies and unattractive consequences. They try to fight, but it doesn’t work out well alone.

It is worth noting that society is poorly aware of the problem of trichotillomania. Therefore, an unevenly bald person without eyebrows and eyelashes involuntarily causes bewilderment and sarcasm on the part of others.

Self-flagellation and public bullying make trichotillomaniacs depressed and force them to isolate themselves from their surroundings, which threatens complete social isolation, loss of friendly contacts, and loss of self.

Support from family or friends

Not everyone is able to become their own narcologist. Therefore, the initiative needs to be taken by caring and close people: relatives, friends, neighbors, and finally, those who care about the drinker and whom he trusts. “Stop drinking” and other similar formulations are unacceptable, as well as intimidation with the dire consequences of alcoholism. It would be a big mistake to call a spade a spade: forget the words “alcoholic and alcoholism.”

It’s better to describe the favorable prospect of sobriety - freedom and independence from a glass of vodka, try together to remember the brightest, most joyful and happiest moments of a person’s life before the period of addiction.

The goal of home psychotherapy is to set a person up for complete abstinence from alcohol.
