What To Do For Chickungunya Jungle Virus?

Hello, I visited a doctor a few weeks ago and he told me I have the Chickungunya jungle virus! I thought it was going away, but I think I m having a bit of a relapse, there is a rash on my foread and my forehead also appears to be swollen! Is the swelling some sort of gland in my forehead that is trying to fight of the infection?

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic. understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that chikunguniya virus has no treatment. The rash found is not because of some glandular activity but it is the reaction of skin itself. I advice you to take analgesics like diclofrnac under your doctors guidance and steroid like prednisolone as and when required.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
