Hello thank you for writing us here.
I would suggest you to take lots of water and do some exercise so you sweat and the excess potassium is eliminated from your body. I won't suggest any unnecessary medications though because it would put stress on your kidneys. Just take healthy diet with low salt and exercise regularly.
God bless you
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
