Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Chikungunya is an infection caused by the chikungunya virus. It is a viral disease causing high fever and affecting primarily joints, which is self limiting. Joint pains typically last for weeks or some times for several months. There is no medications as such to treat chikungunya virus infection or disease. Some of the means which can be done to decrease the symptoms include: 1. Take adequate rest 2. Drink good quantities of fluids to prevent dehydration 3. Take medicines, such as ibuprofen, naproxen or paracetamol, to relieve fever and pain. Other medications from alternate medicines could help to reduce the symptoms, but doesn t cure the illness instantaneously. Gradually, the symptoms should reduce back to normal. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
