I had chikungunya earlier, and since then, I have had severe body and bone pain, especially in my right hand and left leg. Painkillers are not giving me relief. What treatment may help reduce this pain?

Joint and bone pain can sometimes persist for weeks or months after chikungunya, due to ongoing joint inflammation. Gentle physiotherapy, light stretching, and warm compresses may help reduce stiffness and improve movement. Adequate rest and a balanced diet may also support recovery. Consult a doctor for proper evaluation, as specific medicine treatment may be needed.

My daughter has had a 101-degree fever for two days. We consulted a doctor in our area, and he prescribed Paracip-500 and Novamox syrup. She hasn't had a bowel movement in the last two days. Will her fever reduce once she passes motion?

Yes, Paracip 500?mg contains paracetamol, which can help reduce fever, body ache, and headache. Take only the recommended dose and consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

I had a fever 15 days ago and now experience a recurrent low-grade fever of 99 degrees F to 100 degrees F every evening; what medication or treatment should I take for this?

It is not uncommon to experience a persistent low-grade fever after an illness, often due to a lingering post-viral recovery or your body's ongoing immune response. Please avoid self-medicating with antibiotics. For mild discomfort, you may take paracetamol (acetaminophen) as needed. Since this has lasted 15 days, it is best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation. They may recommend simple blood tests to find the exact cause. Meanwhile, ensure you get plenty of rest, stay well-hydrated, and track your temperature. There is no need to panic, as this is frequently seen after common infections, but a medical check-up is the safest next step.
