Stomach pain after alcohol in connection with nausea

Besides stomach pain, nausea is one of the most common complaints after drinking alcohol. Of course, nausea can also occur without stomach pain, simply because of the effect of alcohol. However, if both complaints are present in combination, it is possible that the irritation of the stomach has caused or at least contributed to the nausea.

For this reason, it is often already helpful to relieve the stomach pain by means of the measures described above. This often leads to an improvement or even disappearance of the nausea.Of course, caution should be exercised when it comes to food in order not to aggravate the nausea – but if you do, you should always take care not to eat too fatty foods. If these measures are not successful, the nausea should be considered an independent manifestation and treated accordingly. Medications for nausea (antiemetics), such as domperidone or dimenhydrinate (Vomex®), promise a quick improvement and can also be administered as suppositories if necessary.
