Will drinking Quinine water help?
Brief Answer:
What are your blood calcium levels?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these frequent cramps that you have reported. The most common cause of muscle cramps is low blood calcium. I will suggest that you get your blood calcium levels checked to make sure they are normal. Also, I will recommend gentle daily exercises involving the lower limbs so as to improve circulation. Quinine wouldn't help but drinking much water could be helpful.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
