I am suffering from chikungunya and have high fever and significant body pain. How can I relieve the pain?
Asked by Female, 33 · 3 months ago
Chikungunya can leave body and joint pain for weeks. You can ease it by taking pain killers prescribed by your doctor, using warm compresses, doing gentle stretching, and staying well-hydrated. Eating anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric and ginger also helps. Rest well, avoid heavy work, and if the pain continues for long, your doctor may give stronger medicines for post-viral joint pain.
