Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
What can I do to stop a foot cramps? It started about two hours ago. It comes every couple of minutes. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
I can understand your concern.
I would like to know if it is just cramps or is there any associated pain and redness in any localized area? If yes then it is not just a cramp and needs immediate medical attention. If only cramps, then drink a lot of milk and also just water for hydration. Do not take potassium tablets without the prescription or suggestion of a doctor please as an inappropriate dose can cause arrhythmia. The cramps should go away in a day. If they worsen, which should not happen, let me know. I hope this information helps. Thank you.
