Homoeopathy has already established its supremacy in the control of various infectious viral diseases. This system of medicine has shown a great result in symptom based treatment of chikungunya. Acute fever, joint pains, rashes, itching and loss of appetite are well managed by Homoeopathic medicines. As we know Chikungunya fever is usually self-limiting and will resolve with time. Symptomatic treatment is only recommended after excluding other diseases like Dengue, Malaria etc. So with the help of various homeopathic medicines like Eupatorium-perf., Pyroginum, Rhus-tox, Cedron, Influenzinum, China, Arnica, Belladona, Kali Mur, Polyporus Officanilis, Bryonia, Nux vomica, Sulphur etc., we at Dr Singla's Homoeopathy can remove the debilitating joint pains and cut short the intensity and duration of the disease significantly.
General Management :
Take plenty of rest
Drink lot of fluids to prevent dehydration i.e. coconut water, honey in lemon water.
You can only take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or paracetamol to reduce fever and pain.
Do not take aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS until dengue can be ruled out to reduce the risk of bleeding).
If you are taking medicine for another medical condition, talk to your family doctor before taking additional medication.
