Chikungunya fever is an acute viral illness caused by the Chikungunya virus, transmitted primarily through Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. It is characterized by sudden high fever, severe joint pain, and rash, often accompanied by fatigue and muscle aches.

The name “chikungunya” comes from the Makonde language, meaning “that which bends up,” describing the stooped posture caused by joint pain. The disease is self-limiting, usually lasting 1–2 weeks, but joint pain may persist for months in some cases. Complications are rare but can occur in elderly, pregnant women, or immunocompromised patients.

Symptoms include sudden high fever, severe pain in wrists, knees, and ankles, headache, nausea, fatigue, rash (maculopapular or petechial), swelling, and conjunctivitis in some cases. Chronic joint pain can lead to reduced mobility and stiffness.

Homeopathy treats chikungunya by alleviating fever, controlling inflammation, relieving joint pain, and restoring overall vitality. Remedies are selected based on fever pattern, nature and location of joint pain, presence of rash, and associated symptoms. Homeopathic treatment can shorten the acute phase, reduce post-viral arthritis, and support recovery naturally.

Supportive care includes hydration, rest, light diet, and avoiding NSAID overuse, which may sometimes worsen bleeding tendencies.
