Chikungunya presents with high fever, severe joint pain, headache, and skin rashes. Joint pain can persist for weeks even after the fever subsides. Adequate hydration, rest, and pain management are recommended for recovery.
Symptomatic treatment includes fever reducers and pain relievers like paracetamol. Adequate hydration and rest are vital. Joint pain may require anti-inflammatory medications or physiotherapy in prolonged cases.
Chikungunya is a viral disease spread by Aedes mosquitoes, causing fever and severe joint pain.
Symptoms include sudden fever, rash, joint swelling, and muscle pain, often lasting weeks or months.
No, it does not spread from person to person but only through mosquito bites.
Treatment is supportive, focusing on pain relief and hydration. There are no specific antiviral treatments.
Use mosquito repellents, wear long-sleeved clothing, and eliminate stagnant water to reduce mosquito breeding.
Severe joint pain can persist for months, impacting daily activities, but it is rarely life-threatening.
Elderly individuals and those with chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension may experience more severe symptoms.
Seek medical attention if fever and joint pain persist after suspected exposure to mosquito bites.
Dr. Geethika’s Clinic in Jubilee Hills provides compassionate, personalized care, specializing in chronic conditions, preventive health, wellness, and nutrition.
