Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

foam like vomiting do occurs some times. it is not an issue. he need to be stopped from hypoglycemia and dehydration. so ask her to take him to a near by ER where he can be examined and given intra-venous fluids.

we have seen many cases due to hypoglycemia and dehydration and alcohol toxicity.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
