Sweating, acid reflux after binge drinking. Treatment?

Resolved Question:

I am a 45-year-old male, frequent drinker, and after a particularly "bad" binge developed a few symptoms that are concerning me. 1) Sweating; 2) Acid Reflux. I also had a concurrent bout of food poisoning. These symptoms have been apparent for 3 days. Stools are normal. Nothing else is abnormal, except that I am worried that they might be an early indicator of liver dysfunction. Obviously, if things continue i will see a doctor. But I'm wondering if you have any input that might put my mind at ease?

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
No this does not sound like liver dysfunction.
I will advise you to take Cap. Omeprazole 20 mg twice daily and Tab. Ciplox 500 mg twice daily for 3 days. Ciplox is a prescription drug, so if for the time being you can't get it, it's fine. Just continue Omeprazole and probiotic supplements and let me know how you're feeling in the next couple of days. The reflux will stop on taking Omez.
Hope this was helpful,
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.
