Hello,
Yes, the symptoms you are describing can occur after consuming a large amount of alcohol followed by repeated vomiting. Alcohol can directly irritate the throat and oral mucosa, while repeated vomiting can expose the throat to gastric acid and cause further irritation. Vomiting and alcohol consumption can also contribute to dehydration, which may worsen throat and tongue discomfort.
Since you currently do not have chest pain or breathing difficulty, that is reassuring. However, after significant alcohol intake and repeated vomiting, it is important not to ignore persistent or worsening symptoms.
I would recommend avoiding alcohol for now, maintaining adequate hydration, and avoiding very spicy, acidic or irritating foods until the symptoms settle.
A proper assessment is advisable if the pain is persistent, worsening, or associated with difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, blood in saliva, severe chest/abdominal pain, fever, breathing difficulty, or inability to drink fluids.
The exact cause cannot be confirmed without taking a proper history and, if required, examining your throat/oral cavity.
If you would like, you can book an online consultation with me on Practo. During the consultation, I can take a detailed history of the alcohol intake and vomiting episode, assess your symptoms, discuss whether any examination or investigation is required, and guide you regarding appropriate treatment and precautions.
Please keep any previous medical reports and details of medicines you are currently taking available during the consultation.
