Hello,
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
The problem is that there is no fixed duration during which the tremors occur in alcohol withdrawal.
It varies from person to person.
2 to 15 days is on record commonly.
Are there any symptoms?
How long did the patient take alcohol?
How much alcohol?
When was the alcohol stopped?
Why are you not visiting a doctor?
Please let me know the responses, for further suggestions.
