Muscle cramps can occur due to many causes such as dehydration,severe exercise, calcium deficiency and electrolyte abnormalities .
It is better to take Tab vitamin D plus calcium once daily with 3-4 litres of ORS ( one packet of ors powder on one litre of water per day) for 3-4 days
If its still not relieved then you can have Tab paracetomol 650 mg SOS.
Next Steps
After recovery, cramps can be avoided by having regular exercise 30 min per day atleast 5 times a week .
Daily fruits and green leafy vegetables
Daily one glass of milk with dry fruits
