Chikungunya alert: Joint pain can linger long after fever subsides
While the fever associated with Chikungunya typically clears up in a few days, patients may experience lingering joint pain, stiffness, and swelling that lasts for weeks or even months. Medical experts caution that waiting too long for a diagnosis can cause symptoms to intensify and complicate efforts to distinguish the illness from dengue. Seeking prompt medical care, staying hydrated, getting plenty of rest, and following up with your doctor are essential steps to support a full recovery.
