Question 1

can you have a garlic allergy -- itchy throat, stuffy nose, sneezing, red, itchy face?  it seems to be exacerbated with alcohol consumption.

Accepted Answer

Yes: One can be allergic to anything.

Question 2

why does my nose bleed after a night of drinking alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Nosebleed: One possibility is that during the alcohol binge you got into a fight, and someone punched you in the nose.  Alcohol can also act  like a blood thinner, causing your platelets to be less "sticky" and not clot well.   This is apparently more common in male drinkers than women.   If you drink often, you may even have less platelets, period.  http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh21-1/42.pdf.

Question 3

can drinking alcohol six months after a nose surgery cause swolling on the bridge area?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Swelling after nasal surgery could last up to a year.

Question 4

best way to treat severe back, head and neck pain after drinking alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Abstain: Sorry, but the clear answer to this question is simple. Don't drink in excess.  Better yet, don't drink alcohol.  The health benefits are minimal, and the risks go far beyond head, neck, and back pain.  Just like mom used to say, "if it hurts when you do that, then don't do that.".

Question 5

when your head is spinning & thumping from drinking alcohol do you have allergy to it?

Accepted Answer

No: You've had too much, you are dehydrating and quite inebriated.

Question 6

i was drinking alcohol and i blacked out and fell backwards and hit the back on my head. i have a slight headache, should i go see a doc?

Accepted Answer

Potentially: How long did you black out for? Is the headache becoming worse and do you have other symptoms? Do you have any nausea or vomiting and has there been any change in your behavior. Alcohol may mask some of these symptoms, so I would say yes...see your doctor.

Question 7

can you take codiene & cyclizine when drinking alcohol? i've been drinking all day and have a bad head and feel sick can i take these to make me better

Accepted Answer

Drug Overdosing: No. Mixing alcohol  and pills of any sort is dangerous and could lead to death. Stop now. Get help. Call  a friend and go to the er.

Question 8

happens rarely every few months after drinking alcohol. wake up & my head feels super super hot. try to walk and can't, as head feels super hot - still conscious however. will crawl to bathroom. after 20 mins, back to normal. any thoughts? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, damage testicular cells that make testosterone, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake. Quit while you are ahead.
