I have a fever. Are there specific symptoms that can tell me if it is Chikungunya, another type of fever, or just a general viral infection?

Chikungunya usually causes a sudden high fever, intense joint pain, and a red rash. Other viral fevers, like dengue or common viral infections, may cause fever with body aches, tiredness, or mild rashes. Since the symptoms can be very similar, a doctor may need to perform blood tests to confirm whether it is Chikungunya or another viral infection.
