Last night I had too much alcohol, and since morning, I have been feeling heavy in my head with a headache and discomfort. What simple tablet or remedy can I take now to get relief and feel better quickly?

Feeling heavy in the head and getting a headache after drinking alcohol is quite common and usually happens because the body becomes dehydrated, the stomach gets irritated, and normal sleep is disturbed. Alcohol can also affect blood sugar levels and blood vessels, which adds to the discomfort the next morning. Most of the time, this is temporary and settles as the body clears the alcohol. Right now, the best approach is to rest and slowly rehydrate with water or oral fluids throughout the day instead of drinking large amounts at once. Light food like fruits, curd, toast, or simple meals can help your stomach recover and improve energy. A gentle walk or fresh air may also make you feel a bit better, but avoid strain and give your body time to rest. Medicines should be taken only if advised by your doctor, especially after alcohol intake, since some painkillers may irritate the stomach or affect the liver. If the headache becomes very severe, persists for more than a day, or is accompanied by vomiting, confusion, or imbalance, seek medical attention without delay.
