10 Cholera Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #2: Muscle Cramps
Muscle cramps are painful muscular spasms in any part of the body, most commonly in the legs. Causes of muscle cramps include overuse of the muscle, muscle strain, dehydration, nerve compression, and mineral depletion. In patients with cholera, muscle cramps occur due to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
Those who experience vomiting and diarrhea should take an oral rehydration solution to replenish their fluids and electrolytes. Severe cases (especially in children and the elderly) should be admitted to receive intravenous fluids and further management.
