Fight and Win the Battle Against Chikungunya-Know the symptoms & cure

These days Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika Virus are the most alarming viral diseases spreading across and these are caused and transmitted by the deadly mosquitoes.

Let's talk about Chikungunya in today's blog post.

Firstly, Chikungunya is caused by the chikungunya virus and it is spread by the two types of mosquitoes: Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti.


How to know and identify the onset of Chikungunya-watch out the below mentioned symptoms.


1. Sudden onset of high fever(39-40 degree Celsius)

2. Severe headache

3. Severe muscle pain

 4. Moderate and unbearable joint pain, swelling in joints

5. Severe pain behind the eyes, and more with eye movements

6. Skin rashes

If you observe any of the above listed symptoms, then on a very urgent basis, consult your physician and get your blood tested as soon as possible, the treatment and cure would be faster if the cause gets detected at early stages.

As such there is no "hit the nail" kind of treatment available for Chikungunya takes two to twelve days for the symptoms to appear after being bitten by the infected mosquito and ten more days to get relieved after the symptoms appeared  and it generally but few of the below written home remedies are really useful in getting it tamed and cured.

  • Take plenty of rest, I would suggest get on a two week bed rest completely, avoid using your smartphones too.
  • Drink ample amount of fluids to rule out the potential risk of getting dehydrated.
  • For medicines, take Paracetamol and Tylenol to reduce fever and body pain.
  • Please avoid, that is, do not take any medicine such as Aspirin or Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs.
  • Most importantly, for instant relief, get Papaya leafs, the juice of papaya leaves helps in relieving the pain since it increases the number of red blood cells and white blood cells as well as platelets count.

But dear friends, few wise persons must have said-"Prevention is better than Cure"
