How can you effectively treat a hangover after a big night out?
This is a podcast from Rover.
Here
he is. Your timing's amazing. Yeah, stop. Dr. John, we're all battling after Friday Rock 2000 countdown. Bryce even had a stag do to go to. Yeah. On the Saturday morning as well. Uber
picked me up 7.10 Saturday morning off to the airport to head down the line. And then I greeted on arrival with a double vessel to Skull upon entry. And I'm not condoning it, but I did partake. You did it.
Yeah.
someone forced me to
do it yeah there are other things that went on that i won't get into but uh some people battling right around the country creature he had a big day
as well
with this weekend is just quickly just to start us off is there any proven way to help cure a hangover think of your dustiest place because i know you enjoy having a couple as well just just a Couple? Yeah. Bottles? Yeah, exactly. What can we do? To make ourselves feel
better. We all party on down, but alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs in this country. Yeah. It has untold damage to our society,
to our health. Absolutely.
Working ED shifts in Auckland Hospital in the middle of the night, you see a totally different side to the city. So it's not nice. So if you're doing Do It Safely, realise that if you're going to go out and on the turps, that you're going to give up the next 24 hours. You just pay for it. Yeah, like a fun tax. Yeah, it does. There is no real cure for a hangover apart from not drinking quite so much. It's as simple as that.
Well, someone texted and said, wake up and have another beer. Yeah. You can.
There is some very small evidence that a little bit of alcohol in the morning may well help bring the cum down a little bit more gentle, but it's still not guaranteed and it's not advised. Sorry.
Sorry, Bryce.
Bryce, get out from under the table, mate. Look, at least get
yourself dressed before you come on breakfast. Bro, all I heard from that was Doc gave me another beer. Doc
said. You can text him, Doc, 3520. They're coming. They're rolling through, Miles. Heaps are coming
through. Yeah, look, Deucey's like probably everyone in the country. Had a bit of a cough and sniffle for six weeks now. No improvement.
What signs indicate a serious respiratory infection versus a normal cough?
Worth checking out? Nah. You'll get better.
Really?
Does it linger that long? Yeah, people think they're going to get better from a respiratory tract infection within 24, 48 hours. The cough will last four to six weeks. That's what you can expect. That's normal process. What you don't want to do is coughing up blood, short of breath when you do any exercise, pinpoint pain in your chest when you take a big breath in. Those are the sort of coughing up blood. Those are the things which make it much, much, much worse. Yeah, I get my violin out quite often these days. Yeah, that. General cough.
Forget it. Yeah, no, no. Right. Have been diagnosed with spondyloarthritis. Did I say that wrong? Yeah, okay. Getting pretty sore. How manageable is this with an extremely physical and
active job? Keep moving. Keep doing things. Keep as mobile as you possibly can. Anything like that which has got a joint disease in it. Oh, it's a joint disease? Yeah. You want to make sure it's a back disease.
Oh,
okay. So basically, you've just got to keep as active, keep your core muscles going, and manage it from there. Okay. Okay.
Hey, Doc, I get really potent stomach gas when eating most food. Try to eat clean, only whole foods, but still seem to get it. Any tips or tricks?
There's no such thing as clean foods. All food's good. So it's like playing around with your diet generally doesn't do anything, unless you find when I eat something, it goes like that. I've got a family member that whenever they eat garlic or onions, their guts play up, so avoid onions and garlic. Yeah, that's where it goes. Hope
that
helps, Mel.
Yeah.
Get out
of here. Well, you're on that side. Hey,
Dr. John. Recently been diagnosed with Peyronie's disease. It's absolutely ruined my life.
How can someone with spondyloarthritis stay active in a physically demanding job?
I've fallen into deep depression. My girlfriend's left me. It's almost physically unable to perform. I've seen a health professional about it. And is it really true? There's nothing they can do about it.
