Chikungunya Disease: Signs and Symptoms, Causes and Treatment!

August 6, 2022 By Ravi Chopra
Chikungunya Disease: Signs and Symptoms, Causes and Treatment

Chikungunya and Chikungunya symptoms, the virus, by virtue of its character, spells pain and discomfort. The moment the outbreak sets in, medical advisories start rolling in. 

Is the Chikungunya Virus Age-Old? 

Well, if some 65 years ago since it manifested itself, then it sure is!! Chikungunya signs and symptoms started in Africa, where it was called the bent-over disease, as patients doubled up due to debilitating pain in the joints caused by this virus. 

The virus also spread in Asia, giving it a tropical identification. Travel is best avoided during the period of illness, as travellers have carried this virus to Europe and USA from Africa and Asia, now making it global.

Chikungunya Symptoms, Causes and Incubation


Chikungunya is caused by which mosquito? We are sure a lot of people want to know that. Chikungunya is caused by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito in Asia and is maintained by humans, while the primates are the principal carriers in Africa.

The normal incubation is from 3-7 days, and it is not always necessary for every mosquito-bitten patient to be caught up in this unwarranted situation. However, the most crucial thing is to get a blood test done immediately to distinguish this affliction from as the same vector-borne mosquito can impart either.

Body temperatures can climb to 104-105 F, with chills that can last for a few days. Relapse is a possibility, though rare.

Is the Whole Body Vulnerable?

Thankfully Chikungunya is not always fatal. Its favoured area is the joints. Normally, it is the smaller joints that succumb first, but the larger joints such as the knee or shoulder may not escape this onslaught.

Patients complain of Chikungunya symptoms such as incapacitation, knee pain, joint pain, shoulder pain or any other joint pain, sometimes for a long period, even after ostensible recovery. Eyes are also victimized.

Though conjunctivitis appears common, in some cases, the optic nerve has reportedly been impacted. Other manifestations are headaches, rash and swelling around the joints. Some reports suggest a consultation with neurologists as well.

What is the Treatment for Chikungunya?


To beat the causes of Chikungunya, Consult a Doctor!! Avoid self-medication and no aspirins, please! Health and nutrition play an inevitable part in order to break free from joint pain. Try avoiding foods that trigger joint pain. More than that, take total rest and do physiotherapy.

Try having natural supplements, such as FlexiQule, for joint pain and inflammation. It contains concentrated Indian frankincense and ginger to relieve frequent joint aches and improve your joint functions. 

There is extensive research going on to find a cure for chikungunya symptoms, which is missing today. Even pathophysiology, which examines the medical and biological discipline, is being researched.

Newspaper reports suggest that molecules exhibiting antiviral molecules have been identified. So there is hope, as human perseverance being boundless, will hopefully cross this frontier too.
