Treatment. There is no cure for cyclic vomiting syndrome. Doctors focus on preventing, shortening and managing episodes of cyclic vomiting syndrome. Treatment options for sufferers of CVS differ from one individual to another because treatments are based on experience as opposed to evidence-based. Some sufferers receive anti-migraine medications to reduce CVS episodes. Anti-migraine medications are effective for individuals with a family history of migraine. Preventive drug therapy is recommended for certain individuals who suffer from more than one CVS episodes within a two-month period. Certain antibiotics can prevent or reduce CVS severity and episodes. Other drugs can treat convulsion, prevent CVS recurrence, alleviate abdominal pain, and prevent the production of stomach acid. CVS sufferers are advised to stay hydrated especially after an episode of vomiting. Drinks such as Gatorade, PowerAde, and other sports drinks are recommended because these drinks contain electrolytes.
