    A muscle spasm would only last a couple/few minutes. But, maybe you strained a muscle. Call your doctor back and tell him it is still there. He will know whether you need to be seen, again.

    Bananas could help.

    Quinine water(Club Soda),found at a food store.Or quinine tablets found at a health food store could also help.

    Get rechecked by a doctor.
