Homeopathic medicines for chikungunya
The name Chikungunya comes from an African Makonde language means ‘that which bends up’” The disease was given its name because it led to the affected persons walking in a stooped posture due to intense joint and muscle pains. Chikungunya is a viral infection caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Like dengue, it is also transmitted to humans after being bitten by the Aedes mosquito infected with this virus. Compared to dengue which is a serious infection, Chikungunya is usually not serious or fatal but the joint pains caused by it can be really nerve–wracking and disabling. High fever and joint pains are the most common symptoms of chikungunya. One infection with chikungunya virus gives lifelong immunity means a person cannot get this infection twice in his/her life.

Cause And Transmission Of Chikungunya
Chikungunya is caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV). It is transmitted to humans via bite from mosquito of aedes genus – Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti which are already infected with this virus. Such mosquitoes contract this virus when they bite a human being who has this virus in his blood. It can also spread by coming in contact with blood of infected person. It can also spread from a pregnant mother having chikungunya infection to the baby.
What Are The Symptoms Of Chikungunya?
The symptoms of Chikungunya viral infection start to appear around 3 to 7 days after mosquito bite. Recovery usually occurs in about a week or two but joint pains may linger on for long in some. The symptoms are as follows:
Most common symptoms are:
1.High fever above 102°F : The fever in Chikungunya infection usually subsides within three to four days
2. Joint pains: These occur in more than 85% of the cases. Multiple joints get affected here. Joint pain is symmetrical means if one joint wrist is affected on one side, then same joint on other side gets affected as well. The joints may also show swelling and stiffness. The joint pains continue for weeks, few months and even years in a few persons (approx. 40 % of persons) having this infection. This is then referred as Chronic Chikungunya Arthritis.
Other symptoms are as follows:
1. Rash on skin:In about 50% cases, the rash appears on the skin. The rash is red at times with small bumps. The rash may be localised to one body part or it may affect even 90% of body skin.
2. Headache, muscle pain, fatigue
3. Sometimes there may be abdomen pain, nausea, vomiting, conjunctivitis (inflamed conjunctiva – membrane that covers white of eyes and eyelids) and backache.
What Are Its Complications?
In most cases, no complications arise but in some cases, they may arise. Those at risk are persons with diabetes, high blood pressure, elderly people, young children. The complications include inflammation in various body parts like inflammation in liver (hepatitis), inflammation of kidneys (nephritis), inflamed retina of eyes or uveitis (inflammation of middle layer of eyewall), inflammation of spinal cord / membranes of brain. A complication may arise in the form of bleeding from any body part, cranial nerves function loss and Guillain barre syndrome (an autoimmune disorder affecting nervous system beginning with weakness in feet / lower legs usually that spread up that may progress to paralysis) .
Diagnosis of Chikungunya
1. The main recommended test is Serological test ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays) to rule IgM and IgG antibodies to chikungunya virus. It is a blood test. In chikungunya fever IgM antibodies can be detected 3 to 4 days following symptom start and remain for 3 to 4 months. IgG antibodies are detectable 6 to 7 days post symptom onset and persist for many years.
2. Virological test: RT-PCR(reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction). It is a rapid method to detect chikungunya virus in blood.
3. In addition to the above, in CBC (complete blood count) lymphocyte count is found to be less.
Chikungunya Vs Dengue Fever
Both Chikungunya and Dengue are viral infections transmitted to human beings by bite of an infected mosquito of Aedes genus. But dengue is a much serious infection and can turn fatal if not treated carefully and timely, while chikungunya is not usually fatal and a person recovers in a week or two. In both these infections, high fever and joint pains are prominent but in dengue, pain behind eye is highly characteristic. Additionally, in dengue, bleeding from various body parts like under skin from the nose, gums, rectum can occur if the platelets get lowered (called dengue hemorrhagic fever) which usually is not the case with chikungunya. As both Chikungunya and Dengue have common symptoms of high fever and joint pain in the initial phase, so confirmed diagnosis cannot be made alone on symptom picture and blood tests are required to confirm whether it is dengue or chikungunya.
Preventive Tips
1. The best preventive tip to prevent chikungunya infection is to prevent a mosquito bite.
2. Control mosquito breeding.
3. Wear full sleeves clothes and clothes that cover the entire legs when going outside.
4. Throw away unused containers holding water. Properly clean the necessary water-holding containers regularly and keep them covered.
5. Use insect repellants that have DEET or picaridin.
6. Use mosquito net to prevent mosquito bites.

Sir I had all symptoms of chickengunia fever but d test for chickengunia on second day of fever was negative.. I got fever on 24 aug last month.. Presently I get low grade fever at times but having severe joint pains.. Please prescribe d medicine n it’s dosage.. Thanks
Sir,
i had fever on 30th August with maximum temprature of 102*F. I took paracetamol for three days and temprature was down but my backpain started. However , at my own, I got the Chickengunia Igm test done which was negative. For two days it was severe pain and it was difficult to rise from the bed. I took homopathy medicine from Doctor in Gurgaon and I did not notice what type of the dose prescribed. However the back pain was alright for 3-4 days but pain started in feet joints and was unable to place it on floor. Again it was alright for 3-4 days and one day it again started . I took homopathy medicine for 8 days and thereafter I did not but the pain some time occur and vanishes.
Now last week on 27th sep I had a mole on my finger of right hand and got laser therapy after local anesthesia and doctor advised me to take Cipolex( Antibiotic for 5 days ). As I took for 3 days my pain restarted and did not take antibiotic for 4th day but doctor advised on next day to take antibiotic medicine for next 5 days continously without any break. But my pain continued on joint in feet and when I get up in the morning it is maximum. In the night I feel relax when I lay on the side of joint pain . I went to Doctor for check up on 3rd Oct, he advised me to get Chickengunia PCR test and asked me to take HCQS-200 for 10 days twice a day. But after taking the medicine there is no relief. Today I checked up from the net from your site and was relieved of the fact that there is Homopathy treatment.
You are requested to kindly advise to get rid off fom this deadly disease.
