Hello,
It looks that your mother is suffering from post chickenguinya arthropathy. In such she should do following to have relief:
- Start doing range of motion exercises of every joint for at least 3 times a day. This will maintain the mobility of joints and prevent further stiffness.
- Take a sustained release formulation of an anti inflammatory agent like Aceclofenac.
- There are some medicines which are known as DMARD. Your doctor can choose one of the medicines like hydroxychloroquine to give relief.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
