Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The post viral illness in case of Chikengunya can stretch upto 3 to 4 months . Good hydration and symptomatic management is the best solution.
In non bearable cases, steroid medications can help but they come with side effects.
You can consult any rheumatologist in XXXXXXX like Chan-re in rajajinagar for better management.
