hi
chikungunya is self limiting and will subside soon.for joint pains naproxen and actaminophen are good choices taken after mealsand taking pantaprazole daily on empty stomach.maintain fluid and electrolyte balance with fruit juices and semi-solid diets.If pain very severe then tramadol can be taken sos Show to a physician, if more than 3 weeks have passed and fever and joint pain persisting , a physician may like to add prednisolone
Do not despair the family may be treated similarly.Try some mobility mild movement exercises of joints to prevent jamming
Best wishes
