This person needs to be evaluated by a Speech therapist/pathologist. they have certain tests they can administer to find out if it is safe for the person to even begin to take anything by mouth. the danger with swallowing problems is that the person can aspirate food or liquids into the lungs and develop pneumonia.

It should only be a few days, but I've had people live for up to a week and a 1/2 - 2 weeks. The body can't live very long w/o water but people sometimes do live longer than expected. A lot of the time families will have the doctor put in a feeding tube to give them nourishment, but if a person stops eating and drinking then that usually means they are ready to go and using the feeding tube is keeping them from passing. You have to think about what they would have wanted. I wish you well.

Desertchica is the only 'correct' answer here.  Note: you can also take your vitamins 'with' your meals.

We (paramedics) maintain their airway, determine if they have used other drugs in addition to alcohol, start an IV of D5W, lactated ringers or 9% normal saline depending on the protocol, administer 100mg of thiamine and try to keep a sympathetic point of view. If the patient is conscious and can maintain their airway would possibly induce vomiting with ipecac. Would have to consider the age, weight of the patient and amount consumed if that information were available.

Hormones! most symptoms should clear upi by the end of the first tri-mester. Keep some soda crackers(saltines) next to your bedside. before you even get up to stand, have a few crackers. When you do make it out of bed and you still feel a bit queasy, drink something really cold. If all else fails..give in and have a good heave. remember to stay properlly hydrated and eat a balanced meal. exercise lightly. Best wishes and congrats?

I am sorry for your situation :(\nI have read that swallowing gobs of unchewed rice or bread helps. I have not tried that personally though. \n\nDo a google search on the subject, and you should surely come across lots of viewpoints and information related to this.\n\nI would suggest you see a doc soon. I wouldn't wanna take chances. \n\nHope it comes out soon!

if its an emergent situation you immediately have the patient lie down with his legs above his head and get him to a hospital where they'll infuse fluids, and probably give medications.  as far as low b/p being a chronic problem, i suggest you talk to your own trusted healthcare professional for a healthy way to combat the problem.
