About Chikungunya Treatment
Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral infection that causes high fever, severe joint pain, body aches, rashes, and fatigue. While many people recover within a week, joint pain and fatigue may persist for several weeks or even months if not treated properly.
At Paras Health Srinagar, our approach to chikungunya virus treatment goes beyond just symptom relief. We identify and manage all stages of the infection—from early fever and rash to post-viral joint inflammation. With the support of expert doctors, in-house diagnostics, and multispecialty care, we help you heal faster and avoid long-term complications.

What Is Chikungunya?
Chikungunya is caused by the chikungunya virus, transmitted by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. It typically leads to:
-
Sudden onset of high fever
-
Severe joint pain (especially in hands, wrists, ankles)
-
Rashes on limbs or torso
-
Headache, muscle pain, and fatigue
It can affect people of all ages and is particularly painful for elderly patients or those with pre-existing joint issues. Although it’s not usually fatal, the lingering joint inflammation can significantly affect quality of life.
Symptoms of Chikungunya
Patients commonly experience:
-
High-grade fever
-
Swelling and stiffness in joints
-

If you have recently experienced a mosquito bite followed by these symptoms, consult a chikungunya specialist near you immediately.
