Treatment for CVS may vary, but people often improve once they learn to control their symptoms. Sufferers are advised to get plenty of sleep and to take medications recommended by their doctor, either to prevent episodes, stop one in progress, speed up recovery, or lessen symptoms.
 
Once the person begins vomiting, they should stay in bed in a dark, quiet room. However, if the vomiting is very severe, the patient may have to go to hospital to prevent dehydration. Sedatives may be given if the nausea continues.
 
Sometimes it is possible to stop an episode at the prodrome phase. If someone is experiencing nausea or abdominal pains before an episode, they can take medicine recommended by their doctor.
 
When a person is recovering from a phase, it is important they drink lots of water. Some people appetites will return to normal immediately, while others will need to begin drinking liquids first and then move onto solids.
 
Medication may be given to those whose symptoms are frequent and long lasting. However, a person will need to take the medication daily for one or two months before they can tell if it is effective.
 
During the symptom-free phase, you should eliminate known triggers. So, for example, if sinus problems is a trigger, these should be treated.
