I have chikungunya and pain in my foot, thigh, and lower back. I take homeopathy painkillers and sometimes Pacimol 650 when the pain increases. Is that okay?

Yes, Pacimol 650 (paracetamol) is safe for chikungunya pain and can be taken as needed (within the daily dose limit). Avoid relying only on homeopathy. Add rest, fluids, and gentle movement. If pain or stiffness persists beyond a few weeks, consult your doctor.

I am suffering from body ache and stiffness due to chikungunya/viral fever. How can I relieve the pain?

For chikungunya-related body ache and stiffness, take paracetamol for pain, rest well, drink plenty of fluids, and do light stretching once the fever settles. If pain is severe, your doctor may add an NSAID like ibuprofen briefly. If symptoms persist beyond 2-3 weeks, get reviewed.

I have a headache, fever, and body aches, but the fever is low. What can I do?

You can take paracetamol for fever and body aches, stay well-hydrated, and rest. Add cetirizine if you also have cold symptoms. If symptoms worsen or persist beyond 3 days, get a medical check-up.
