Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain

Hi Dr. ,
This is Debraj Das from Mumbai.I am a 31 yr management proffesional .my working hrs are from 8 am to 6.30 pm and sometimes even more . Last yr I caught the chikungunea fever ,my fever was not coming down 103' for 3 consecutive days.n I was feeling excrutiating pain in my chest and joints ...eventually the joint pain disappeared with the fever but i still have this chest pain which comes and goes time to time . i can feel this sharp piercing pain on the upper right side of my chest specially when i lift something as small as my 3 months old kid .i have seen a pulmonologist here in godrej hospital too where they have asked me for the chest xray and ct scan ...The xray showed -every thing normal except- nodular opacities in right upper n apical zone while the ct scan was suggestive of subtle bronchiolectasis in bilateral lung fields.
After going through the reports my doctor said the pain was due to the infection scar left after chikunguniya n it ll remain the rest of my life ...n gave me a topical ointment "vovoran emulgel"to rub on when required...still the severe pain is there.can u plz help ?
n for your concern would like to add that there is no sudden drop in weight, i dnt spit blood and nothing as suggestive for tb ...so that was firstly ruled out by the dr.
Waiting for your consultance
thanx in advance

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chickengunya virus damages joints, cartilage and bones.
So residual joint pain, bone pain and costochondritis are very common after chickengunya fever.
So you are having post chickengunya costochondritis.
You should follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
2. Start multivitamin tablets containing folic acid, vitamin b 12, vitamin d3, niacin, riboflavin, zinc etc.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
4. Divert your mind from pain.
5. Continue voveran gel locally.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
