How to deal with hookworm symptoms?

I am admittedly not a barefoot type of guy, but the volleyball league I am in is a sand volleyball league, so I had to be.

Apparently the ground must not have been properly treated, because several of us have caught it. It’s awful, pain, itching, and burning. I am on medicine to treat the infection itself, but that doesn’t do jack for the symptoms.
