Symptoms Of Cyclosporiasis

Stomach Cramps

Since cyclosporiasis affects the intestines, it is common to experience stomach cramps. Once the antibiotics start to clear the infection, the cramps typically start to dissipate. However, there are options patients can use in the interim to calm this symptom. Heat and rest can help to calm the muscles in the stomach to reduce the severity of the cramps. Ginger or chamomile tea may help to alleviate cramps and nausea that often accompanies them. Replacing fluids and electrolytes is important since dehydration can intensify stomach cramps. Doctors might also recommend antacid medicines or pain relief medication to make the cramps easier to cope with.
