Thanks for your query at HCM!
I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query!

Chikungunya is a enzootic virus. The disease is characterized by a sudden onset of high grade fever, rash and arthralgias. It causes polyarthralgias which is the most disabling symptom. Is there any swelling?
She can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In most cases it will subside in few days. Treatment is mostly symptomatic with analgesics, antipyretics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents.
Also get an RH factor test done. Follow up with investigation.
Do not do exercise of joints if acute pain.
